The Reds’ head coach was sent off by Michael Oliver after the 2-2 draw at Goodison Park on February 12, as was Curtis Jones and assistant manager Hulshoff.

Joanna Durkan and Dan Clubbe have looked back at last night’s action, with a lack of clean sheets a problem for Liverpool:
“What is becoming concerning is how often we allow the opposition to score with their first shot on target or via avoidable situations, it then only piles the pressure on the forwards to respond.
“We have kept three clean sheets in our last 13 league matches and in that run have drawn six times, conceding at least two in five of them.
“It requires more work and effort at a time when players are becoming increasingly tired, it is creating some tension and Liverpool are becoming their own worst enemy as a result.”
