William Saliba was trustworthy sufficient to confess that Arsenal bought away with a giant refereeing error of their 1-1 draw in opposition to Liverpool this night.
The Gunners in some way didn’t have a penalty given in opposition to them within the twentieth minute when Martin Odegaard clearly and deliberately dealt with the ball contained in the field, with VAR’s failure to intervene leaving Jurgen Klopp flummoxed afterwards.
The French defender spoke to Viaplay Sports activities after the ultimate whistle when he was requested for his ideas on the incident, candidly stating: “After all. It was a penalty however I’m not the ref.”
When one in all Odegaard’s personal teammates comes out and publicly says {that a} spot kick ought to’ve been awarded, that tells you every part it’s essential to learn about how atrocious a call it was by the officers to not penalise the Arsenal captain.
There’s nothing that may be accomplished about it now, sadly, however Saliba deserves loads of credit score for his trustworthy admission about an enormous second which benefitted his staff.
