Liverpool manager Andoni Iraola has revealed he will tell Alexander Isak to 'dive on the floor' in future‚ as he and captain Virgil van Dijk hit out at VAR after being denied what they described as a 'clear penalty' during Sunday's 1-0 defeat by Arsenal. The Gunners ended their 14-year wait for a Premier League victory at Anfield to return to the top of the table‚ keeping Liverpool at bay with a superb defensive performance after Kai Havertz opened the scoring in the 16th minute. Just minutes after the German's opener‚ Liverpool striker Isak looked to have a golden opportunity to equalise when he rose to meet Bradley Barcola's cross‚ only to miss the ball after having his shirt pulled back by Arsenal defender Jurrien Timber.

Liverpool have two youngsters who they believe are two of the best defensive talents in world football. But they have zero Premier League minutes between them and - you guessed it - are both out of action right now.
