Premier League Panel Says Liverpool Should Have Had Penalty Against Arsenal

The Premier League’s Key Match Incidents Panel has ruled that Liverpool should have been awarded a penalty for Jurrien Timber’s holding of Alexander Isak during Arsenal’s 1-0 win at the Emirates Stadium. Referee Andy Madley did not award the spot kick, and VAR did not recommend an on-field review. The panel voted 4-1 that a penalty should have been given. A separate 3-2 majority believed VAR should have intervened, while members unanimously agreed the incident did not warrant a red card. The report says the panel considered the holding sufficient to affect Isak’s movement. Arsenal’s Kai Havertz scored the only goal of the match.
