Watch the moment linesman Constantine Hatzidakis throws an elbow into the face of Andy Robertson at halftime of Liverpool vs Arsenal.
The first period was a feisty one which ended 2-1 to Arsenal, with several Liverpool players surrounding officials as the whistle blew, feeling aggrieved over certain decisions made in the half, but linesman Constantine Hatzidakis decided to take matters into his own hands to deal with the protests of Andy Robertson – by elbowing him in the chin.
Nahhh the linesman actually elbowed Robertson ??

Robertson made his feelings known to his team mates and the referee over the incident which Hatzidakis seemed to get away with in the moment, but you’d imagine that there will be consequences for the official as he runs the risk of serious punishment.
So it should. If it was the other way around he would have been sent off. As it was he got booked for it. Ridiculous and should be recinded
If this incident had occurred with another teams player, there would be outrage. But cos it’s Liverpool…..nah. Also Boy Keane, a man who admitted in his book that he actually tried to maim a fellow player to destroy his career! How this ill-educated oaf is tolerated is beyond my comprehension.
