Liverpool manager Arne Slot has been given a two-game touchline ban for his red card against Everton.
He was dismissed for approaching referee Michael Oliver on the pitch after the 2-2 Premier League draw at Goodison Park on 12 February.
Slot will miss the league leaders' home game with Newcastle on Wednesday and the visit of Southampton on 8 March.
He can be on the touchline for the Champions League last-16 first-leg tie with Paris St-Germain on 5 March.
Slot was also fined £70,000 by an independent Football Association commission after accepting the charge.
Liverpool assistant coach Sipke Hulshoff was banned for two games and fined £7,000, while Liverpool and Everton were fined £65,000 and £50,000 respectively for failing to control their players.
James Tarkowski's 98th-minute equaliser sparked chaotic scenes, with Everton fans entering the field to celebrate.
Liverpool thought Tarkowski's goal, which was checked by the video assistant referee (VAR), should have been ruled out for a push on defender Ibrahima Konate in the build-up.
Slot exchanged words with one of the assistant referees before shaking hands with Oliver, who immediately showed him a red card. Hulshoff was also sent off.
Slot, who was unable to speak to the media after the match because of his red card, later voiced his frustration over the amount of stoppage time played, after five minutes were initially signalled.
In a news conference two days after the game, Slot said "emotions got the better of me".
Everton's Abdoulaye Doucoure and Liverpool's Curtis Jones were sent off after the final whistle for second yellow cards. Both served one-game bans.
Slot's first domestic game back in the dugout will come after the international break when Liverpool face Newcastle in the Carabao Cup final on 16 March.
Liverpool, who are 11 points clear at the top of the Premier League, face Everton at Anfield on 2 April.
Slot served a touchline ban for the EFL Cup quarter-final against Southampton in December after being shown three yellow cards.
