The FA has stated that it will not take any further action in relation to an alleged incident involving Jordan Henderson and Gabriel.

Gabriel and Henderson got into a heated argument near the end of Arsenal's 3-2 win over Liverpool on October 9 after the home team was awarded a penalty.

An FA investigation was launched following claims that the England midfielder, who strongly denied the allegation, made a remark that enraged the Brazilian.

The FA, however, stated that "there is no case to answer" following a "full and thorough investigation" that included speaking with six players who were near the clash as well as Gabriel and Henderson.

The FA also confirmed that the "allegation was made in good faith" despite "none of the witnesses [hearing] the alleged comment."

The incident occurred after Arsenal was awarded a penalty kick in the 76th minute for Thiago Alcantara's challenge on Gabriel Jesus, which was upheld by VAR.

Referee Michael Oliver spoke to managers Mikel Arteta and Jurgen Klopp on the sidelines, but neither elaborated on the cause during their post-match press conferences.
