Liverpool should have been awarded a penalty against Arsenal after Alexander Isak was pulled back by Jurrien Timber, the Premier Leagueโs Key Match Incidents Panel has judged.
Andoni Iraolaโs side were frustrated to not be awarded a penalty in the first half of their Premier League loss at Anfield earlier this month after Timber pulled Isakโs shirt as the striker jumped for a header in an attempt to connect with Bradley Barcolaโs cross from the left.

The verdict โฌ
The Key Match Incidents Panel voted 4:1 that a penalty should have been awarded on the field when Jurrien Timber pulled Alexander Isak's shirt, with a 3:2 vote that the VAR should have intervened and sent the referee to the pitchside monitor.
Kloppโs top 3 points totals:
99
97
92
+ 3 Champions League finals.
Competing against Pepโs cheats at their prime.
Artetaโs top 3 points totals:
89
85
84
1 Champions League final.
Competing Vs declined, end-of-eras Liverpool & City.
Itโs insulting to compare Klopp with Arteta
That passing range, how composed he is and how he is able to read the game - itโs exceptional ๐
#LFC have a phenomenal player in Trey Nyoni.

๐จ ๐๐ฅ๐๐ญ๐ฌ ๐๐๐๐ง: Arsenal would have been awarded a PENALTY if it wasn't for the offside call!
The foul was for the EXACT SAME THING that happened at Anfield last week, when Jurrien Timber pulled Alexander Isak!
๐จ๐ Mikel Arteta on the Isak-Timber penalty: โI have a massive library of clips of pulls and tugs of other teams tooโฆ we can get into thatโ.
