Panel says Liverpool should have had a penalty against Arsenal

A review panel says Liverpool should have had a penalty in their 1-0 Premier League loss to Arsenal on November 1.

The incident came in the 21st minute at Anfield, when Arsenal defender Jurriën Timber held Liverpool forward Alexander Isak as he tried to reach a cross.

Referee Andy Madley let play continue, and video assistant referee Stuart Attwell did not intervene.

The panel voted 4-1 that a penalty should have been given, and most members said VAR should have recommended a pitchside review because the missed foul was a clear error.

The panel unanimously agreed Timber did not deserve a red card for denying a clear goal-scoring chance.

After 10 league matches, Arsenal led the table by five points over Brighton, while Liverpool were fourth, nine points behind Arsenal.
