The FA decided against punishing the Greek referee

The FA will take no further action against match official Constantine Hatzidakis for his alleged elbow against Andrew Robertson in the 2-2 draw between Liverpool-Arsenal at Anfield.

Hatzidakis  apologised lately to Robertson for his actions at the half-time whistle.

‘We have thoroughly reviewed all of the evidence in relation to the recent incident at Anfield involving the Liverpool defender and match official, and we will be taking no further action,’ read an FA statement.

‘Our comprehensive process involved reviewing detailed statements from Liverpool and PGMOL, as well as multiple angles of video footage, in relation to both the incident and its surrounding circumstances.’

Htazidakis expressed his motivation to return back to officiating and stated that it was never his intention to elbow the Liverpool defender as he was just trying to pull his arm away from Robertson’s grasp.
