Summarised by MatchPal
Iraola criticised the referee after Liverpool's 0-1 loss to Arsenal, claiming Isak and Gakpo were denied clear penalty decisions.
Liverpool manager Andoni Iraola expressed frustration with the officiating after his side's 0-1 defeat to Arsenal in the Premier League on Sunday. Iraola felt that Alexander Isak should have been awarded a penalty for being held, and argued that a similar incident involving Cody Gakpo also warranted a spot-kick. The manager highlighted the inconsistency in the referee's application of the rules across both moments.
