A GLIZZING Jordan Henderson needed to be pulled away from a teammate during a Europa League match.
The former Liverpool player and Bertrand Traoré, another outstanding Ajax player, got into a brawl.

Henderson let his frustration out on Bertrand Traore (left) even though his team was winning handily.
The Dutch giants had a significant lead over Besiktas at the time of the clash.
First goals came from Kian Fitz-Jim, Mika Godts, and Kenneth Taylor, making the score 3-0.
Henderson, 34, continued to be irate as he screamed at teammate Traore before being dragged away by other Ajax players.
I believe the midfielder took issue with the way the player tackled Gedson Fernandes, a midfielder for Besiktas.
Even after he had left, Henderson could still be seen furiously yelling to himself.
Ajax continued to play effectively after the incident, and Godts’ second goal in the 73rd minute sealed the victory.
The three points they received were crucial given the new Europa League regulations.
With the 4-0 victory, Ajax now has the greatest goal differential and is leading the standings.
In January, he left Saudi Arabia and became a member of Ajax.
The English player relocated to the Middle East after leaving Liverpool, where in the summer of 2023 he signed Al-Ettifaq.
However, the player’s stay was brief as, in the ensuing transfer window, he returned to Europe.
Henderson was rumoured to be leaving Amsterdam in the summer.
But he made the decision to stay, and he is currently the club captain.
