Roy Keane slams Liverpool defender Andy Robertson as 'big baby' after being elbowed by linesman against Arsenal

Roy Keane slammed Liverpool defender Andrew Robertson as a 'big baby' after the bizarre incident involving linesman Constantine Hatzidakis at half-time of the Premier League clash against Arsenal.

A replay from Sky Sports showed Robertson moving over to linesman Hatzidakis, who is seen raising his arm to the face of the Scotland international.

Speaking about the incident at the break, Sky Sports' touchline reporter Geoff Shreeves said: “Andy Robertson was absolutely apoplectic, stunned even.

“[Robertson] said ‘the linesman has just elbowed me in the throat’ – Jordan Henderson was well aware of it and led the remonstrations with referee Paul Tierney and after that they got taken away. Extraordinary scenes.”

Liverpool legend and Sky Sports pundit Jamie Carragher also tweeted: "Linesman elbow on Robertson!"

But reacting to the incident from the Sky Sports studio, Manchester United legend Roy Keane added: "I've not seen anything like it really.

''But Robertson... does he grab the linesman first? I'm not sure. But Robertson's complaining. He should be more worried about his defending.

"I've watched Robertson a number of times and he is a big baby. Just get on with the game and concentrate on your defending. He does grab the linesman first."
