International star Alexander Isak should have been awarded a penalty when his Liverpool side lost 1-0 to Arsenal, according to a review panel appointed by the Premier League.

Isak was pulled by the shirt by Arsenal's Jurriën Timber in the penalty area when the teams met at Anfield on November 1. The Swede was prevented from reaching the ball from a cross, but the referee chose not to blow the whistle, and there was no VAR review either.

Four out of five experts on the panel believe the referee made a mistake by not awarding a penalty. Three out of five also believe the VAR room should have asked the referee to review the incident on a screen.

The panel reviews Premier League matches every week to assess whether the referees and VAR officials acted correctly.

Liverpool manager Andoni Iraola stressed after the match that Isak should start diving.

If he goes to ground, they blow for a penalty, Iraola told Sky Sports.
