FA give verdict on Bruno Fernandes incident as Liverpool dressing room reaction to Roberto Firmino exit revealed

Here are your Liverpool evening headlines for Monday, March 6.

FA make decision on Bruno Fernandes incident during Liverpool vs Man United

Manchester United captain Bruno Fernandes has seemingly escaped punishment from the Football Association (FA) after an incident during the latter stages of their defeat to Liverpool.

That is according to the Mirror, who has reported that the Portugal international will not face retrospective action from the governing body after appearing to make contact with the back of assistant referee Adam Nunn.

The moment came in the latter stages of their 7-0 defeat after a firm, but fair, challenge from Trent Alexander-Arnold in front of the Kop before the pair exchanged words with the touchline official stepping in a bid to cool the tension. However, Fernandes was having none of it after the Liverpool defender passed the ball back, pushing aside Mr Nunn.

Mirror Football has reported that the match officials did not take any formal action in regard to the incident, adding that the FA confirmed nothing further will happen given that referee Andy Madley spotted the moment in question - but along with the team of officials, opted not to include it in the post-match report.

Virgil van Dijk reveals Liverpool dressing room reaction to Roberto Firmino exit in emotional tribute

Virgil van Dijk says the departing Roberto Firmino will be remembered as "one of the legends" of Liverpool when he walks away this summer.

The Brazil forward will make an emotional exit at the end of the season after eight largely trophy-laden years at Anfield where he won the Champions League, Premier League, FA Cup, League Cup and Liverpool's first-ever Club World Cup in December 2019.

Firmino has scored 108 times for the Reds and registered his most recent as a substitute in Sunday's extraordinary 7-0 win over Manchester United at Anfield.

It is understood the No.9 has not yet decided on his next move but it's been reported the 31-year-old will not join another Premier League club out of respect for Liverpool.

Speaking after the demolition of their fierce rivals at Anfield, Van Dijk paid tribute to his colleague and his achievements during his time with Liverpool, who he joined from German club Hoffenheim in the summer of 2015.
