Arsenal striker Thierry Henry is likely to face disciplinary action due to his goal celebration during Saturday's victory over Everton.

Referee Mark Halsey has revealed he has reported the French international, who stripped off his shirt after scoring from the spot, ran towards the Everton fans and appeared to blow a kiss at them.

Halsey said: "His actions in running towards the fans at that end sparked a bit of aggravation.

"The police explained to me after the game that when he blew a kiss to the crowd it was because his family sit in the boxes above that end of the ground," he told the Daily Mail.

"Perhaps his family should move away from that area".
