After initially issuing Liverpool manager Arne Slot a two-match ban, the Premier League EPL reportedly deleted the statement, causing confusion around the situation.
James Tarkowski scored a last-gasp equaliser to ensure that the final derby game between the two sides at Goodison Park ended in a 2-2 draw.

However, the Dutch tactician, along with his assistant Spike Hulshoff approached referee Michael Oliver to protest the goal, as the pair were believed to feel that there had been a foul during the build up.
As a result, the pair were shown red cards by the official, with the league also revealing why they received their marching orders.
"Liverpool head coach Arne Slot was dismissed at the end of the Merseyside derby for using offensive, insulting, or abusive language. He is handed a two-match touchline ban as a result," a deleted statement said per the Mirror.
However, it has been suggested that the entity may have acted too soon as the Football Association (FA) are holding off on making a decision until they view the referee's report, which they are understood to still be waiting on.
Subsequently, Slot was unable to attend the post-match conference after being given his marching orders.
However, Liverpool captain Virgil van Dijk spoke to the media, and took a jab at their rivals while singling out Everton midfielder Abdoulaye Doucoure.
"This is their cup final. We saw it last year, and this year it's a big blow. Doucoure wanted to provoke our fans. Curtis [Jones] didn't think that was the right thing to do. I think the referee didn't have the game in control; I said that to him," Van Dijk said.
Curtis Jones was also among those who were shown a red card.
"It was a very big provocation from one certain player. We all saw it and reacted as a team as we were able to do. You know what happens nowadays, it becomes one big tussle.
"Then it is not me who has to deal with it, it is the referee and today I am not sure he had it fully under control."
