Arne Slot has received support from an unlikely source, as the Liverpool boss awaits his punishment for his sending off after the Merseyside derby against Everton on Wednesday.
The Dutchman was shown a straight red card by referee Michael Oliver in the aftermath of the chaotic 2-2 draw at Goodison Park, with the Reds coach one of four to be dismissed by the official.
Abdoulaye Doucoure and Curtis Jones saw red for sparking the melee that saw both teams clash on the pitch, while Slot and his assistant Sipke Hulshoff were dismissed for their overzealous protests towards Oliver.
But the 46-year-old has found a surprising ally in Everton boss David Moyes, who was in the opposite dugout, after the Scot gave his long-awaited verdict on the events that transpired.
