Liverpool captain claims VAR made ‘clear’ error in Arsenal match
Story updated
The story in brief
8-second readVirgil van Dijk believes Liverpool were denied a clear penalty in their defeat to Arsenal at Anfield on Sunday, appearing incredulous at suggestions that the VAR missed the incident.
From the source
Arsenal won 1-0 at Anfield to secure a big three points and go clear at the top of the Premier League table on Sunday, but the game wasn’t without controversy.
From a Liverpool perspective, the biggest frustration surrounded a shirt pull by Jurrien Timber on Alexander Isak. Given the incident was inside the penalty area, any infringement spotted by the officials could have been pivotal for the contest.
But the shirt pull was missed by the referee, and it didn’t seem to be reviewed by VAR. Virgil van Dijk was certainly frustrated about that fact after the game.
