In the aftermath of Arsenal's 1-1 draw with Liverpool, William Saliba acknowledges that Martin Odegaard's handball should indeed have led to a penalty.
Arsenal secured a crucial draw against Liverpool in their recent Premier League clash, with William Saliba admitting the legitimacy of a penalty call arising from Martin Odegaard's handball. This contentious moment occurred shortly after Gabriel's early header had given Mikel Arteta's team the lead at Anfield.
Referee Chris Kavanagh dismissed fervent protests from Liverpool players, and VAR David Coote opted against advising a second look at the pitchside monitor. Addressing the incident post-match, Saliba remarked to Viaplay, "Yeah, of course. It was a penalty, but I’m not the ref, and they have to accept [it]."
Despite Gabriel Magalhaes opening the scoring with a fourth-minute header, Mohamed Salah equalized in the 25th minute, resulting in a 1-1 draw. This outcome maintains Arsenal's position at the summit of the Premier League table as they head into the Christmas period.
