Liverpool manager Rafael Benitez maintains that he did not see skipper Steven Gerrard produce any offensive gestures or hand signals during the match against Wigan Athletic, insisting he was not in a position to see the events that unfolded on the pitch.
In a match that saw the Reds produce a lacklustre performance, a lone strike from Hugo Rodallega was enough to give the Latics a major boost in their battle against relegation.
Towards the end of the encounter, Gerrard was booked for a foul, and the skipper appeared to make an offensive two fingered gesture while hurling a mouthful towards referee Andre Marriner.
"I don't know if Steven did anything or not, because it was too far away to see," Benitez said, according to the Daily Mail.
Although the man in charge did not take note of the incident at the time, it is speculated that the Kop favourite could be sanctioned by the authorities for his actions on Monday night.
