Iraola instructs Liverpool players to dive after Arsenal penalty call
Alexander Isak stayed on his feet after Jurrien Timber pulled him back while chasing a cross, and as a result, neither the referee nor VAR intervened.
After Liverpool's 1-0 loss to Arsenal at Anfield, manager Andoni Iraola expressed frustration over the lack of a penalty call for an incident involving Alexander Isak and Jurrien Timber. Iraola stated that his players should be told to dive for penalties since referees and VAR are not calling them correctly. Despite Arsenal's early lead through Kai Havertz and several good chances for Liverpool, the defending champions narrowly missed out on a crucial win.
Iraola acknowledged his team's strong moments but emphasized that they need to keep pushing forward, especially with Arsenal dominating the table.
