Panel rules Liverpool should have had penalty against Arsenal

Liverpool should have been awarded a penalty against Arsenal when Alexander Isak was pulled back by Jurrien Timber, according to the Premier League's Key Match Incidents Panel.

The incident occurred during the 21st minute of a match at Anfield on 1 November, when referee Andy Madley did not award a penalty and VAR Stuart Attwell cleared the play. Replays later showed Jurrien Timber grabbing Alexander Isak's shirt as he attempted to reach a cross. The Key Match Incidents Panel subsequently ruled by a 4-1 vote that a penalty should have been given on the field, with a 3-2 vote concluding that the VAR should have intervened. At the time of the incident, Arsenal held a 1-0 lead which ultimately decided the outcome of the match.
