Curtis Jones Speaks Out After Merseyside Derby Red Card
Curtis Jones has broken his silence after being sent off in the chaotic aftermath of Liverpool’s 2-2 draw with Everton in the Merseyside derby. The 24-year-old midfielder was shown a second yellow card following a heated altercation with Everton’s Abdoulaye Doucoure, who appeared to celebrate the Toffees’ late equaliser in front of the Liverpool fans. Jones and several teammates confronted Doucoure, leading to a mass brawl that also saw Liverpool manager Arne Slot and his assistant Sipke Hulshoff sent off by referee Michael Oliver.
Jones took to social media to post a photo of the Liverpool squad celebrating their second goal, accompanied by the caption, “Always together.” Despite the red card, fans have largely supported Jones for his passionate response, though he will now serve a one-match ban against Wolverhampton Wanderers. The suspension is limited to one game as Jones was dismissed for two yellow cards rather than a straight red.
Everton’s Doucoure, who was also sent off for his role in the incident, later posted on social media with a five-word message: “Passion. Determination. Desire. Goodison Park.” The match, which marked the final Merseyside derby at Goodison Park before Everton’s move to Bramley Moore Dock, ended in dramatic fashion with James Tarkowski’s stoppage-time equaliser.
The fallout from the match has left Liverpool in an unusual situation, with assistant coach Johnny Heitinga expected to take charge for the upcoming game against Wolves. The Premier League confirmed that four red cards were issued after the final whistle, including those for Slot and Hulshoff. The incident has sparked debate over referee Michael Oliver’s handling of the game, with Liverpool captain Virgil van Dijk criticising the officiating and suggesting Doucoure aimed to provoke the away fans.
