Furious Jordan Henderson pulled apart from Ajax team-mate as ex-England star loses it during Europa League clash

A FURIOUS Jordan Henderson had to be pulled apart from his own team-mate during a Europa League clash.

The former Liverpool star was embroiled in a clash with fellow Ajax ace Bertrand Traoré.

The Dutch giants were in a comfortable position against Besiktas when the argument happened.

Kian Fitz-Jim had opened the scoring before Mika Godts and Kenneth Taylor made it 3-0.

But Henderson, 34, was still not thrilled as he went at team-mate Traore and was pulled away by other Ajax stars.

It appears that the midfielder was not happy with the winger’s foul on Besiktas midfielder Gedson Fernandes.

Even after he had walked away, Henderson could be seen yelling to himself in frustration.

Ajax continued to impress after the incident as Godts fired in his second in the 73rd minute to make sure of the result.

They won the game and earned a vital three points in the new format of the Europa League.

The result leaves Ajax top of the table with a superior goal difference thanks to the 4-0 win.

Speaking after the result, Hendo opened up over his spat with Traore, insisting there were no hard feelings between the pair.

He said: “If you’ve seen me play over the years, that’s normal for me.

“After the whistle, we jumped into each other’s arms straight away. It’s still football. Being 3-0 up is fine, but conceding one goal can turn the game around.

“We always have to be alert and sharp and if you sometimes have a discussion with someone, it keeps everyone sharp.”

Henderson joined Ajax in January after cutting his time in Saudi Arabia short.

The Englishman left Liverpool for the Middle East as he joined Al-Ettifaq in the summer of 2023.

However the midfielder did not stay long before returning to Europe in the following transfer window.

Henderson was linked with a move away from Amsterdam in the summer.

However, he stayed put and is currently captaining the club.
