Liverpool captain Jordan Henderson has opened up on his feelings after being cleared of wrongdoing by the FA in the fiery incident involving Arsenal defender Gabriel Magalhaes.
Henderson was accused of making an offensive remark to Gabriel during a flashpoint in Arsenal’s 3-2 win at the Emirates Stadium on October 9. The FA took witness statements from six players from both teams, reviewed video footage and sought the opinion of linguistics experts before determining that there was no case to answer.
Henderson always strenuously denied the allegation and the FA eventually accepted his version of events that his words were misheard. Speaking for the first time since the ruling, the England midfielder has now reflected upon the FA investigation, which was sparked by referee Michael Oliver’s report after the game.
