Liverpool left angry as Iraola changes stance after controversial VAR call

Andoni Iraola has admitted he may have to instruct Liverpool players to go down when fouled inside the penalty area after Alexander Isak was denied what appeared to be a clear penalty in Sunday’s 1-0 defeat to Arsenal. Kai Havertz’s 16th-minute goal gave Arsenal their first Premier League victory at Anfield in 14 years, but the major talking point came when Jurrien Timber clearly pulled Isak’s shirt as the Liverpool striker attempted to reach Bradley Barcola’s cross. Referee Andy Madley allowed play to continue and VAR declined to intervene.
