Liverpool should have been awarded a penalty against Arsenal after Alexander Isak was pulled back by Jurrien Timber, the Premier League's Key Match Incidents Panel has ruled.
Isak just failed to get his head on the end of a cross by Bradley Barcola in the 21st minute of the game at Anfield on 1 November.
Referee Andy Madley did not award a penalty and it was checked and cleared by video assistant referee (VAR) Stuart Attwell, but replays showed Timber grabbed Isak's shirt.
The KMI Panel voted 4:1 that the penalty should have been awarded on the field, with a 3:2 vote that the VAR should have intervened and sent the referee to the pitchside monitor.
Arsenal led 1-0 at the time through Kai Havertz, which proved to be the only goal of the game.
Two panellists highlighted the "subjectivity in assessing impact" as a reason not to intervene, but the majority view was that it was a "clear and obvious error" by the VAR.
The KMI Panel unanimously voted that Timber's challenge did not warrant a red card for denying an obvious goalscoring opportunity.
After the match, Liverpool manager Andoni Iraola told BBC Match of the Day: "There is a clear grab of the shirt.
