Alexander Isak’s shirt was clearly pulled by Jurrien Timber as he went up for a header which he potentially could have scored from in the first-half. Virgil van Dijk was furious about the non-awarding of a spot-kick, and he had good reason to be.The incident has prompted a debate over whether Isak should have exaggerated the contact in order to give referee Andy Madley a decision to make.

However, in an infuriating, uncanny twist, it turns out Liverpool had an almost identical situation against Arsenal at Anfield in 2019, where Mohamed Salah had his shirt pulled by David Luiz, stayed on his feet and won a penalty.Liverpool have a LOT of attacking options and someone has to miss out 👀 What front three would you select? Salah had an identical situation to Isak vs Arsenal Salah’s clash with Luiz was even in the same penalty box as Isak’s battle against Timber.

Running onto a clever first-time touch from Roberto Firmino, Salah was in on goal before Luiz decided to pull back his shirt. The contact was virtually identical in terms of length to that of Timber on Isak seven years later, and, just like his future Liverpool teammate, Salah did not go down.The Egyptian legend was often accused of diving during his time with Liverpool, or at least going down too easily, but he should be commended for not doing so on this occasion.
