The Premier League came out today and admitted that Jurrien Timber’s shirt pull on Alexander Isak should have resulted in a penalty for Liverpool, with Arsenal going on to win that game 1-0. It should come as no surprise to Reds fans, who have time and again had to watch their team screwed over by VAR.

Liverpool should have been awarded a penalty against Arsenal after Alexander Isak was pulled back by Jurrien Timber, the Premier League's KMI Panel has ruled.The KMI Panel produced a split 3:2 vote that the VAR should have intervened.👇https://t.co/br0ZF7Zk6q— Dale Johnson (@DaleJohnsonBBC) November 11, 2026 View X Liverpool’s track record with VAR and referees tells a different story The penalty should have been awarded against Arsenal, but we really shouldn’t be surprised that it wasn’t.

Stretching back to VAR’s introduction, Liverpool have been on the wrong end of some shocking calls, but none worse than Luis Díaz’s disallowed goal against Spurs in 23/24. And who can forget Martin Odegaard’s blatant handball being missed by VAR, also in 23/24.
