Premier League linesman Constantine Hatzidakis has been cleared by the FA after his confrontation with Liverpool fullback Andrew Robertson.

Hatzidakis appeared to strike Robertson with his elbow at halftime of Liverpool's 2-2 draw with Arsenal as the Scot approached him.

"I look forward to returning to officiating matches," Hatzidakis said.

"I fully assisted the FA with their investigation and have discussed the matter directly with Andy Robertson during an open and positive conversation," the match official added.

"It was certainly not my intention to make any contact with Andy as I pulled my arm away from him and for that I have apologised."

The FA said it had reached its decision after thoroughly reviewing all of the evidence.

"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," an FA statement said.
