The Premier League has made a decision on the controversial moment in the Liverpool vs Arsenal match.
The Premier League admits fault! Liverpool should have been awarded a penalty in the game they lost to Arsenal.
The Premier League's Key Match Incident (KMI) committee confirmed that Liverpool should have been awarded a penalty in the 0-1 defeat to Arsenal on 1 November.
The incident happened in the first half when Liverpool forward Alexander Isak was clearly pulled by Arsenal defender Jurrien Timber inside the penalty area. However, referee Andy Madley allowed play to continue, and VAR official Stuart Attwell did not intervene, despite replay footage clearly showing Timber pulling Isak's shirt.
The KMI committee voted 4-1 in favor of awarding a penalty, and by 3-2 agreed that the VAR should have intervened due to a clear error, considering it a definite refereeing mistake.
Meanwhile, Liverpool manager Andoni Iraola said that Isak would likely have been awarded a penalty if he had gone down to the ground.
Liverpool, currently 4th in the Premier League table, will host Manchester United on 22 November.
