Jamie Carragher and Roy Keane disagree on Arsenal vs Liverpool penalty decision

Jamie Carragher and Roy Keane disagree on Michael Oliver's decision to award Arsenal a penalty in their 3-2 win over Liverpool on Sunday.

Gabriel Martinelli opened the scoring on the day by finding the back of the net in just 58 seconds. Liverpool levelled proceedings through Darwin Nunez after 34 minutes but Bukayo Saka gave Arsenal the lead for a second time on the stroke of half-time. Liverpool restored parity again on 53 minutes after Roberto Firmino scored his 10th goal against the Gunners in just 17 appearances.

But the most controversial moment arguably came around 15 minutes from time after Arsenal were awarded a penalty thanks to a challenge from Thiago Alcantara on Gabriel Jesus. Many have described the decision as 'soft' or 'harsh', primarily because it led to the winning goal.
