Liverpool say they will co-operate with any investigation into Roberto Firmino’s clash with Mason Holgate in the\u00a0Reds’ 2-1 FA Cup win over Everton.<\/p>\n
Holgate pushed forward Firmino over the advertising hoardings and into the crowd, with the Everton defender left furious after the pair subsequently exchanged angry words.<\/p>\n
The incident – for which neither player was booked – will be in the match report referee Bobby Madley sends to the Football Association, who will decide whether to investigate further.<\/p>\n
“The club and player will fully co-operate with the relevant authorities to ensure the facts are established in a thorough manner if deemed necessary or requested,” said a spokesman.<\/p>\n
“While that process is ongoing, we will not be making any further comment.”<\/p>\n
Everton boss Sam Allardyce was asked about the incident after the game, and said: “I haven’t found out exactly what happened. I’m here to talk about football not controversial issues.<\/p>\n
“Even if I had or hadn’t spoken to Mason Holgate I wouldn’t tell anyone because that’s another area of the authority of the football club. I will let the director of football [Steve Walsh] deal with that.”<\/p>\n
Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp added: “I only heard about something but I can’t say anything about it because so far I couldn’t speak to anybody and I think, from now on, first of all the club will answer.<\/p>\n
“I don’t really know anything about it.”<\/p>\n
James Milner opened the scoring, before Gylfi Sigurdsson’s equaliser – but Virgil van Dijk scored the winner on his debut to put Liverpool into the fourth round.<\/p>\n\n
