BIZARRE: Peter walton blames andy robertson for starting confrontation with assistant referee - What They Never Told You

Former Premier League referee Peter Walton has pointed the blame at Andy Robertson for his altercation with Constantine Hatzidakis - after the left-back appeared to be elbowed in Liverpool's 2-2 draw against Arsenal.

As the players were walking back to the tunnel at half-time, Robertson grabbed Hatzidakis and didn't look best pleased with the assistant referee. Hatzidakis reacted angrily to that though and moved his arm back in what seemed to an elbowing motion towards Robertson's face.

The Scotland international wasn't happy with Hatzidakis and neither were the Liverpool players, who stormed around the official, sparking an ugly encounter heading into the interval. Robertson, Diogo Jota and Jordan Henderson remonstrated with Hatzidakis and referee Paul Tierney as they left the pitch.
