Jordan Henderson smirks as he trolls Anfield boo-boys on return with Chelsea – and argues with ex-Liverpool team-mate Virgil van Dijk

Jordan Henderson faced a hostile reception upon his return to Anfield as Chelsea fell to a 6-5 penalty shootout defeat against Liverpool in the Carabao Cup last 16. The former Liverpool captain smirked and laughed at booing home supporters when feigning to take a first-half penalty, which was ultimately converted by Morgan Rogers. Henderson also engaged in a vocal on-pitch dispute with former teammate Virgil van Dijk following a discussion with referee Darren England.

Despite the friction during the match, Henderson scored his penalty in the shootout and was seen laughing and joking with Van Dijk at full-time before applauding the crowd. The midfielder, who won eight trophies over 12 years with Liverpool, had previously received a standing ovation when visiting Anfield with Brentford the prior season.
