Liverpool boss Arne Slot admitted "emotions got the better of me" after his red card at the end of a dramatic final Merseyside derby at Goodison Park on Wednesday night.
Slot was sent off by referee Michael Oliver after the full-time whistle having seen James Tarkowski score in the eighth minute of added time to earn a 2-2 draw. He and his assistant Sipke Hulshoff have both been charged with being abusive to match officials.
"Emotions got the better of me. If I could do that differently, said Slott.
"if I look back I would love to do that differently and I hope to do that differently next time.
"There is an ongoing process and I don't want to disturb that.
"I should have acted differently after the game but it's an emotional sport and sometimes individuals make wrong decisions and that's definitely what I did.

"There were many things in extra time that led to me being quite emotional. There was a foul incident and then two minutes they checked, I thought the only thing would be a foul or maybe offside.
"Of course then after 10 minutes you hear their fans cheering, OK, it wasn't offside. Many things happened in the end phase in extra time but it wouldn't be smart to go into every single incident."
Tarkowski's goal sparked wild scenes, with Everton's Abdoulaye Doucoure and Liverpool's Curtis Jones both seeing red after clashing at the full-time whistle.
Jones reacted to Doucoure celebrating in front of Liverpool's fans.
"I like a lot that he stands up for the team, but there are also other ways for the team and fans to do that," Slot added.
"I will talk with him about that. It is the same for me, I should have acted differently after the game as well."
The Reds were on course to earn victory on the historic occasion and strengthen their grip on the Premier League title race until the late drama.
Slot added: "I felt immediately after the referee blew his whistle we had lost two points.
"For the whole 98 minutes it didn't feel constantly we were the ones who were going to win the game, it was an equal game, a draw was maybe a fair result but with us leading after 97 minutes we were quite close to winning the game and it felt as though we dropped two points.
"But we won a lot as well with the togetherness of the team, together with the fans, how much we fought to get the result over the line."
Both Everton and Liverpool also been charged with their players and/or technical area occupants behaving in an improper and/or provocative way following the final whistle.
David Moyes expressed sympathy for Slot after his red card.
Moyes said: "I feel a bit for Arne Slot because this is the thing when I was a younger manager, I was always getting involved in heated things.
"It shows he cares about his club and he's fighting for his players."
"It was an emotional night, we were playing against a really good Liverpool team. We had to do as good a job as we could to get a result.
"We just about got there."
Moyes confirmed striker Iliman Ndiaye is out of Saturday night's trip to Crystal Palace with a knee injury, but there is no timescale on a return yet.
