Jordan Henderson loses it with Ajax team-mate Bertrand Traore during Europa League clash with pair nearly coming to blows following sloppy pass

The English midfielder lost his tempter with the Burkina Faso forward during the second half of Ajax's Europa League clash at home to Besiktas. The ex-Chelsea player lost the ball in his own half and Henderson made sur to have a go at him for his mistake.

Despite Ajax being 3-0 up at the time, Henderson was not happy with the attacker's sloppy action and the situation got so heated that the former Liverpool captain was pulled back while Traore kept shouting at him as he walked away.

Asked about the incident after the match, Henderson said: "If you watch me play over the years, that's pretty normal to be honest. Intimidating? It's football! We want to win, we want to improve! If we concede a goal there is still much time left. Sometimes you will have words with each other but it's good, it keeps everybody on their toes."

The Dutch giants got their Europa League campaign off to a solid start with a 4-0 win, but they already trail rivals PSV by 11 points in the Eredivisie - the Amsterdam side do, however, have two games in hand. They take on RKC Waalwijk this weekend.
