Mikel Arteta says he “100 per cent” backs his Arsenal players’ version of the on-field row late in Sunday’s win over Liverpool which has prompted an FA investigation.
Arsenal centre-back Gabriel and Reds skipper Jordan Henderson were at the centre of a fracas involving numerous players from both sets of teams, after which referee Michael Oliver briefly paused the game to speak to Arteta and Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp on the touchline. Oliver also took further observations from the players involved after full-time.
