Van Dijk and Iraola Criticise VAR After Arsenal’s 1-0 Win at Liverpool

Virgil van Dijk has criticised Premier League officiating and VAR after Liverpool’s 1-0 defeat to Arsenal at Anfield. Liverpool believed they should have received a late penalty when Alexander Isak’s shirt was pulled by Jurrien Timber inside the box. The referee allowed play to continue, while VAR did not recommend a review. Van Dijk said the incident was a clear penalty and questioned why VAR failed to intervene despite the available camera angles. Andoni Iraola also described the decision as difficult to understand. Arsenal’s victory ended their long wait for a league win at Anfield and strengthened their position in the title race.
