From the source
Steven Gerrard described the failure of Stuart Attwell on VAR to intervene over a crucial decision at Anfield on Sunday as ‘an absolute embarrassment’.
There was controversy in the 21st minute of Liverpool’s defeat to Arsenal when Jurrien Timber pulled Alexander Isak’s shirt inside the penalty area, a clear foul which somehow went unpunished just five minutes after Kai Havertz’s winning goal.
Reds boss Andoni Iraola went as far as to suggest that he’d encourage his players to go to ground in such situations, with the Swedish striker staying on his feet and not protesting to the referee despite the obvious offence on him.
