The body charged with officiating Premier Leagues games, the Professional Game Match Officials Limited (PGMOL) is looking into a not too pleasant encounter between assistant referee, Constantine Hatzidakis and Liverpool defender, Andy Robertson at Anfield during Liverpool’s 2-2 draw with Arsenal on Sunday.
The Reds defender had approached the assistant referee as the half-time whistle blew but the match official would have none of it.
Robertson later accused Hatzidakis of knowingly elbowing him, claiming he struck him in the throat during the encounter.
