What happened on Sunday at Anfield in the 2-2 draw turned into a real yellow Liverpool And arsenal. Protagonists of the story Robertsonplayer of the Reds, and the linesman Constantine Hatzidakis.

Klopp’s loyalist, who has been at Liverpool for the past six years, he was so furious that he had to be held back by his teammates while he reported the matter to the referee, who – in response – punished him with a yellow card. The episode will be clarified by Pgmol, the association that supervises the whistles of the Premier.

The protests and the contact: what happened

We are aware of the incident and will review the incident in full, according to the association’s press release. It all happens when referee Paul Tierney blows his whistle to end the first half. Robertson approaches Hatzidakis to protest. Sky Sport UK, which broadcast the match live, does not have specific videos of the incident, but lateral and frontal shots: in the images Robertson can be seen approaching the linesman, perhaps even pushing him or leaning on him with his body, before a gesture of Hatzidakis with his right arm that seems to hit Robertson on the chin. He elbowed me in the face, he tells teammates, while he protests and is barely held back. If what the Liverpool defender claims is proven, the linesman, a 38-year-old international, risks suspension. But Robertson also risks disqualification if it turns out that he pushed or pulled Hatzidakis. I didn’t see what happened but I’m told the pictures speak for themselvesKlopp’s words.
