Liverpool captain Henderson slammed as 'ugly & disrespectful' by ex-Man City defender Savic

Liverpool and England midfielder Jordan Henderson has been labelled "ugly and disrespectful" by Montenegro defender Stefan Savic.

The Euro2020 qualifier between the two sides, which England won 5-1, was marred by racist chants from a section of the Montenegro crowd.

And Manchester City man Savic was incensed after Henderson "sarcastically" refused to exchange shirts at the end of the game.

"We all know they are a much bigger team than us but sometimes I feel very bad to be playing the same sport as some players," said Savic.

"Jordan Henderson, for example, sarcastically told our player after one normal clash he would give him a jersey after the match.

"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."
