PGMOL confirm decision on linesman who elbowed Andy Robertson during Liverpool vs Arsenal clash

Refereeing body PGMOL have confirmed that linesman Constantine Hatzidakis will not officiate any fixtures whilst the FA continue their investigation into the incident involving Liverpool defender Andy Robertson. Hatzidakis appeared to elbow the Liverpool defender at half-time in Liverpool's 2-2 Premier League draw with Arsenal on Sunday.

The Liverpool left-back was booked for his complaints, with Jordan Henderson remonstrating with referee Paul Tierney. Arsenal went into the break 2-1 ahead but were fortunate to leave Merseyside with a point after Jurgen Klopp's side pushed for a winner in the second half following Roberto Firmino's equaliser.

An initial statement from PGMOL read: "PGMOL is aware of an incident involving assistant referee Constantine Hatzidakis and Liverpool defender Andrew Robertson at half-time during the Liverpool v Arsenal fixture at Anfield. We will review the matter in full once the game has concluded."
