Former Premier League referee Dermot Gallagher expected Liverpool to be awarded a penalty by VAR against Arsenal after the ball was handled by Gabriel Magalhaes.
The incident occurred quarter of an hour into the contest, when the Arsenal centre-back clearing blocked an attempted cross from Diogo Jota with a raised arm. Referee Michael Oliver failed to award a spot-kick, and when the incident went to a VAR review, his original decision was upheld.
The controversial incident was analysed by Gallagher on Sky Sports News' Ref Watch segment on Monday morning, who was surprised that a penalty was not awarded on review.
