But during the match, captain Henderson was spotted losing his head with one of his teammates for a mistake they made in the game.
The incident occurred shortly after the hour mark as winger Bertrand Traore made a mistake which gave the ball to his opponent.
Despite being 3-0 up at the time, Henderson was infuriated at the mistake and immediately approached him to angrily criticised him for the sloppy play.

Traore clearly was not happy with what his 34-year-old captain was saying to him and began to argue back, before team mates, Devyne Rensch and then Kian Fitz-Jim were forced to split the pair up and end the argument.
Speaking after the game about the incident, Henderson said: "My moment with Traore? If you watch me play over the years, that's pretty normal to be honest.
"Intimidating? It's football! We want to win, we want to improve. If we concede a goal there is still much time left. Sometimes you will have words with each other but it's good, it keeps everybody on their toes."
Less than 10 minutes later, Mika Godts scored his second goal of the match to deny Besiktas any hopes of a spectacular comeback and take the scoreline to 4-0 for the hosts.

Henderson joined the Dutch giants from Al-Ettifaq in January, just months after coming to the Saudi Pro League side from Liverpool.
He quickly established himself with Ajax, making 22 appearances, and now captains the side.
Speaking to CBS Sports, after the win on Thursday, he said: "From start to finish we were dominant in the game. Some really good stuff, some good goals. We were clinical in front of goal and most importantly the clean sheet as well. Overall it was a very good night for us."
