Jordan Henderson Vs Gabriel – FA Investigate Incident, Calls Duo In To Give Accounts

As part of their investigation into the Emirates dispute, FA officials plan to speak with Jordan Henderson and Gabriel.

The Football Association has stated they are looking into the event and will likely speak with all players who may have seen it happen.

After the game, the pair were questioned by the referee to get their version of what happened, and Michael Oliver has since handed the Football Association his report.

They will now look into the issue further before deciding if there is a case to push further after the incident in the dying stages of Arsenal ’s dramatic 3-2 win over Liverpool at the Emirates on Sunday. Furthermore, the idea of using a lip reader has been floated.

It is understood that Arsenal defender Gabriel has complained he heard something on the pitch which preempted an angry confrontation with Liverpool captain Henderson.

The argument started shortly after the controversial penalty awarded to Arsenal following the challenge made by Liverpool player Thiago on Gunners forward Gabriel Jesus.

Tempers spilled over and there was a melee involving both sets of players soon after which is when Gabriel insists he heard something was said.

Managers Mikel Arteta and Jurgen Klopp were informed that a complaint had been made by referee Oliver as he approached the touchline.

Witnesses said afterwards the situation had calmed down in the tunnel area but both players being called to effectively give evidence to the referee means that Oliver will now refer what the players said to the FA as part of their potential investigation.

After the game, Liverpool captain Henderson was expected to give post-game interviews, however, he didn’t.
