‘Dereliction of duty’ – Jeff Stelling blasts VAR for missing clear Liverpool penalty against Arsenal

The failure to award a penalty for Liverpool after Alexander Isak had his shirt pulled by Jurrien Timber was a ‘dereliction of duty’. That’s the opinion of talkSPORT hosts Jeff Stelling and Ally McCoist , who have slammed VAR for not stepping in at Anfield. In the 21st minute of the clash, which Arsenal ended up winning 1-0 , Bradley Barcola whipped a dangerous cross into the box. Isak stepped into space in front of Timber and tried to head the ball home for an equaliser, but the latter clearly pulled his shirt.
