JORDAN HENDERSON turned the airwaves blue when he was caught swearing at the Croatia manager.
England star Henderson gave a typically committed display as Gareth Southgate’s side secured a goalless draw against the World Cup runners-up.

But with the match being played in an empty stadium, every cough and spit on the field could be heard in the stands and on the television screens.
And supporters were given a first hand insight into the kind of industrial language used during games thanks to a moment that would have left Sky TV execs covering their ears.
Croatia boss Zlatko Dalic had taken issue with a couple of challenges England players had put in and was heard shouting loudly at the referee.
And when the official responded by blowing his whistle to award a free-kick, that was too much for Liverpool midfielder Henderson to accept.

The 28-year-old snapped and roared: “Are you the f***ing ref?” in the direction of the Croatian bench.
The shout could be heard as clear as day, both inside the stadium and in the living rooms of the viewers at home.
Sky presenter David Jones had twice warned those watching on the sofas before kick-off that they could hear some things that were not so easy on the ears.
But the clarity of Henderson’s shout was perhaps even more piercing than expected.
