While you often see players remonstrate with the officials, it is rare that you see them accused of conduct such as this.
Just after the halftime whistle blew in Liverpool's game against Arsenal at Anfield, a number of members of the home side exchanged a few harsh words with the referee and his assistants.
It was unclear what sparked the incident at the time. It soon became clear that Andy Robertson was heavily involved, with the Scot absolutely fuming as he made his way down the tunnel.

On Sky Sports at halftime, it emerged that Robertson had accused the linesman of elbowing him in the jaw just after the whistle blew. Footage of the incident showed the player speaking to the official, whose arm then lifted up to make contact with his face.
It may well have been a case of the linesman attempting to shrug Robertson off after he grabbed his arm, although the left back certainly was not pleased.

While people are sure to fall on different sides of this debate, there is no doubt as to who Roy Keane was blaming.
Roy Keane tears into Andy Robertson over linesman incident
Speaking on Sky Sports at halftime, Roy Keane absolutely hammered Andy Robertson for his conduct during this incident.
Robertson, does he grab the linesman first? I'm not sure, but he starts complaining. He should be more worried about his defending.
Do you know what is that Robertson, I've watched him a number of times, he's a big baby. That's what that guy is.
Just get on with the game and concentrate on your defending. He does grab the linesman first.
Robertson is certainly not afraid to make his feelings known to the officials, something Roy Keane has clearly grown tired of.
He made that abundantly clear here.
