    DID YOU KNOW?

    At the end of the game D’Aversa made a beeline for Henry, as he faced up to Pongracic once more, and was caught on camera forcing his head towards the Verona striker. Henry briefly went to ground, before bouncing back up and having to be restrained by a number of team-mates and coaching staff.
