Liverpool were right: Jurriën Timber should have been penalized in their match against Arsenal. The Premier League's Key Match Incidents Panel concluded that Timber pulled Alexander Isak to the ground, but no penalty was awarded, reports Voetbal International. The decision by referee Andy Madley and the VAR was incorrect, according to the panel, as also noted by FCUpdate. Liverpool's frustration over the incident was highlighted by Voetbal International, while Voetbalprimeur added that the PLKMIP reviewed the much-discussed decision. The panel's findings support Liverpool's claim that they should have had a spot-kick.
