Andoni Iraola said he will instruct Liverpool players to go down in the box in future after Alexander Isak was denied a penalty during Arsenal’s first win at Anfield for 14 years.

Liverpool were beaten by Kai Havertz’s early strike after a poor clearance from the goalkeeper ­Alisson but had two penalty claims dismissed by the referee, Andy Madley.

The first, a shirt-pull by the Arsenal defender Jurriën Timber on Isak, prevented the ­Sweden international reaching Bradley Barcola’s cross. The second, a hold by Christos ­Tzolis on Cody Gakpo, was reviewed by the video assistant referee, Stuart Attwell, but rejected.
