Liverpool skipper Jordan Henderson has been slammed as "ugly and disrespectful" by Montenegro defender Stefan Savic as the fall-out to England's Euro 2020 qualifier continues.
Henderson came off the bench to create the final goal for Raheem Sterling as England romped to a 5-1 win in Podgorica on Monday night.

“It is ugly and disrespectful. I told him he was good enough not to act like that.
“We are proud and I’d rather play with this team and concede five goals and not with some arrogant players from England.”
