What Virgil van Dijk did before Jarrod Bowen's missed penalty for West Ham vs Liverpool

Liverpool Virgil van Dijk may have handed Alisson Becker an advantage when Jarrod Bowen stepped up to take his penalty for West Ham.

With the score at 1-0 to the Reds, the Hammers were awarded a penalty on the stroke of half time after Joe Gomez brought down Bowen inside the area, leading VAR to intervene.

Before the ball was put on the spot, Van Dijk scuffed the penalty spot up in front of the Kop to try and interfere with Bowen's spot kick as Alisson dived to his right to keep Liverpool in the lead.
