10 days after the match, it was announced that a penalty was not awarded to Liverpool against Arsenal

Ten days after the match where Arsenal defeated Liverpool 1-0, the English refereeing body acknowledged a significant error regarding a penalty decision. In the 21st minute, Timber pulled Isak's shirt during a play, but the referee, Andy Madley, did not award a penalty as Isak did not fall. The VAR did not review the incident, allowing the game to continue. A five-member committee later concluded that a penalty should have been given, with a 4-1 vote against the decision not to review the situation. The committee criticized VAR official Stuart Attwell for not calling Madley to the monitor. Liverpool's coach, Andoni Iraola, had previously highlighted the absurdity of needing to instruct players to fall in similar situations for clearer calls. Arsenal's victory marked their first win at Anfield since 2012.
