On October 28, in the 9th round of the Premier League, Liverpool drew 2-2 away against Arsenal. After the match, Liverpool’s manager Slooter talked about receiving a yellow card, stating that he was complaining about Arsenal players diving frequently, which was mistaken by the fourth official as mockery, leading to the booking.
Slooter said at the time: “Arsenal players are always falling on the pitch, wasting time. So I said to my player Konaté, ‘They are just too ridiculous.’ The fourth official misunderstood me as mocking him, so I received this yellow card.”
This is also Slooter’s second yellow card of the season. His first yellow card of the season came in the previous league match when Liverpool beat Chelsea 2-1 at home. During the first half stoppage time, Jones fell in the opponent’s penalty area, and the referee initially awarded a penalty. However, after VAR intervention, the penalty was overturned. Slooter received a yellow card for protesting.
Following this draw, Liverpool, with 7 wins, 1 draw, and 1 loss, now has 22 points and drops to second place, trailing the top-ranked Manchester City by 1 point.
