The English Football Association (FA) have announced that they are looking into an incident between Arsenal and Liverpool players during Sunday’s thrilling clash at Emirates Stadium.
Players from both sides clashed following referee Michael Oliver’s decision to award Arsenal a late penalty, which Bukayo Saka converted to give the hosts a 3-2 victory.
Tempers continued to fray as the game wore on, leading to Oliver running over to the touchline to talk to both Mikel Arteta and Jurgen Klopp.
It is believed that Oliver made both managers aware of comments one player was alleged to have said to another during the flare-up, which saw players from both sides having to be pulled apart. Oliver then also spoke to the fourth official, Andy Madley, who took down some notes about the incident.
The FA have released a statement, saying that they will now be looking into what happened. An FA spokesman said: “We are aware of an incident that took place during the match between Arsenal and Liverpool. We are in dialogue with the match officials and will review the details of the incident.”
