- Robertson elbowed by assistant referee
- Full-back complained in surprise
- PGMOL to investigate incident
WHAT HAPPENED? Linesman Constantine Hatzidakis appeared to catch the Liverpool full-back with his elbow when he protested to the official after the half-time whistle during the clash against Arsenal on Sunday.
WHAT THEY SAID: The Professional Game Match Officials Board confirmed that the incident will be investigated, saying in a statement: "PGMOL is aware of an incident involving assistant referee Constantine Hatzidakis and Liverpool defender Andrew Robertson at half-time during the Liverpool v Arsenal fixture at Anfield. We will review the matter in full once the game has concluded."
Asked about the incident after the game, Liverpool coach Jurgen Klopp told Sky Sports: "Nothing. I know it happened but I didn’t watch it. If it happened the pictures will speak for themselves."
THE BIGGER PICTURE: The incident came as Liverpool trailed 2-1 against Arsenal. Robertson protested to his team-mates and captain Jordan Henderson came to the Scotland star's defence. Liverpool managed to equalise late in the game as they secured a 2-2 draw.
