Slot’s Liverpool were denied the chance to stretch their lead at the top of the Premier League to 9 points.
And tempers flared after the final whistle, with Curtis Jones in the middle of a huge fracas.
Police and stewards were seen intervening to get between the players, as Jones tussled with Everton’s Abdoulaye Doucoure.
Doucoure appeared to celebrate Everton‘s late equaliser in front of the travelling support, with an incensed Jones confronting him.
Jones and Doucoure had picked up bookings in what was a bad-tempered encounter.
They were booked again by ref Michael Oliver, resulting in a red card for both.
Tempers appeared to be cooling as Everton players crossed the field to celebrate with their fans.
But Slot wasn’t done – and promptly saw red for a bizarre handshake with ref Oliver.

The Liverpool boss approached the whistler and appeared to hold onto his hand when Oliver tried to pull his away.
He was immediately shown a straight red, despite the protests of Liverpool skipper Virgil van Dijk.
Everton began the night brilliantly, with Beto giving the Toffees a deserved early lead.
But Liverpool hit back through Alexis MacAllister and Mo Salah, with the three points looking set to head back across Stanley Park.
Tarkowski was sent forward by Moyes in the final seconds of the game.
And the centre-back thundered in a stunning strike on the volley to take the roof off.
