(Video) Jordan Henderson escapes red card despite shoving Otavio twice to the ground in heated Saudi clash

Henderson, Otavio

Jordan Henderson somehow escaped the judicial powers of the on-pitch official despite shoving Al-Nassr’s Otavio not once, not twice, but THRICE in their Saudi Pro League encounter.

The Englishman was on the losing side with Steven Gerrard’s Al-Ettifaq as Sadio Mane scored the sole goal on the day in a heated King Cup.

We’re not quite sure how the referee, in clear view of the altercation, opted to only issue a red card to Hazazi.

At the very least, it makes us feel slightly  (though only slightly) better about the officiating standards in the Premier League.
