Excitement at the top game! Linesman attacks Liverpool’s Andrew Robertson

In the Premier League, there was an extraordinary assault in the top game between Liverpool FC and Arsenal: Linesman Constantine Hatzidakis gave Jürgen Klopp’s protégé Andrew Robertson an elbow.

In the first 45 minutes there were three goals and a wild pack formation to admire. When going into the cabins, the linesman, who had previously been involved in a discussion by Robertson, derailed. Several videos show how the assistant swings and catches the Liverpool professional on the chin.

Apparently he wanted to keep him at a distance. The Scot even picked up a yellow card in the end and had to be held back by his teammates. skyExpert Roy Keane said in the live broadcast: “Robertson should rather take care of his defensive work.” He also referred to him as a “giant baby”.

Liverpool were 2-0 down at Arsenal but Mohamed Salah reduced the deficit just before half-time. In the second half, the Egyptian missed a penalty and missed another great chance, but Roberto Firmino saved the Reds in the 87th minute. It is currently unclear whether there will be an investigation against Hatzidakis.
