The FA have confirmed that they will speak to the officials in charge of Arsenal vs Liverpool after an 'incident' occurred during the Gunners' 3-2 win at the Emirates stadium.
Proceedings were briefly paused in added time as Michael Oliver, the referee, ran to the touchline to speak with both Mikel Arteta and Jurgen Klopp. It's understood to have referred to an argument that erupted inside the Liverpool penalty area and involved several players.
As per The Guardian, Oliver again spoke to both managers after the game, and the matter has since been referred to the FA, which will talk to the officials before deciding its next move. "We are aware of an incident that took place during the match between Arsenal and Liverpool," an FA spokesperson said. "We are in dialogue with the match officials and will review the details of the incident."

The Mirror also reports that Jordan Henderson and Gabriel have presented their cases following a bust-up between the pair. Mikel Arteta was asked about the incident in his post-match press conference but didn't want to comment on the matter: "It was an incident that happened. Whatever happens on that pitch, stays on that pitch," he said.
The ending to the game marred what was a fantastic spectacle in north London. An early opening goal from Gabriel Martinelli and two goals from Bukayo Saka was enough to secure all three points for the Gunners, who secured their eighth victory in nine Premier League games.
Martinelli opened the scoring in just 58 seconds. Liverpool levelled proceedings through Darwin Nunez after 34 minutes, but Saka restored the Arsenal lead on the stroke of half-time. Liverpool levelled again on 53 minutes, though, as Roberto Firmino scored his 10th goal against the Gunners in just 17 appearances. Arsenal were awarded a penalty 15 minutes from time thanks to a challenge from Thiago Alcantara on Gabriel Jesus. Saka made no mistake from 12 yards as he slotted his attempt past Alisson Becker.
Victory means that the Gunners stay top for another week, one point ahead of Manchester City, who face Liverpool themselves this coming Sunday.
