Premier League linesman Constantine Hatzidakis has broken his silence after his clash with Liverpool fullback Andrew Robertson.

Footage showed Hatzidakis raising his elbow towards Robertson's face as the Scot confronted him at half-time of the Reds' 2-2 draw with Arsenal.

Hatzidakis has now been stood down indefinitely as the FA investigate the incident.

He has now spoken publicly for the first time since the clash, stating: "Whatever happens, happens.

"There is nothing more I can say at the moment. I can't talk about what happened."
