New images of the interaction of Arne Slot with Michael Oliver have originated in the midst of the Red Card Mystery of the Liverpool manager.
Slot received his marching orders after full -time when his side shipped a late goal to Everton in the Merseyside Derby.
Liverpool was 2-1 up when James Tarkowski shot home an equalizer in the eighth minute of the stop time.
Tempers then fell on the last whistle when Curtis Jones and Abdoulaye Doucoure bumped for supporters.
The midfielders were both sent by referee Oliver while teammates tried to cool things off.
And when the referee left the field, he was approached by Liverpool Boss Slot.
But while the couple shook the hand, Oliver quickly stuck out in his pocket before he produced a red card for the Dutchman.
Slot was shocked by the decision, with his assistant Sipke Hulshoff, who also received his mars orders.
The couple will now miss the next Liverpool league match against Wolves.
Yet Mystery still surrounds the circumstances of Slot's red card, where the Gaffer is unable to talk to the press because of the Premier League rules.
However, new images have emerged from the incident.
A camera from the side caught the moment that Slot approached further, with things that seemed innocent on the surface.
The images showed slit that stretched his hand when Oliver walked past him.
The referee took it, but seemed to keep walking in a straight line.
Slot then seemed to be temporarily to hold Oliver's hand in an attempt to talk to him.
But this ensured that the civil servant turned around before he reached his back pocket to wave the red card.
It remains unclear which words have gone between lock and Oliver, leaving the full circumstances of sending in mystery.
Fans responded to the new images on social media.
One said, “Oliver wears a microphone, leaves the audio free.”
Another stated: “Literally a red card for hand shaking.”
It was noted: “Slot invited this red card itself.”
Another added: “What is this?”
