It was not a penalty - Pundit claims referee made the right call for Trent Alexander-Arnold s challenge during Liverpool vs Tottenham
Trent Alexander-Arnold risked conceding a penalty for Liverpool against Tottenham Hotspur. Former Aston Villa striker Gabriel Agbonlahor has backed referee Andy Madley's decision not to award Tottenham Hotspur a penalty against on November 6. Spurs succumbed to a 2-1 defeat against the Reds at the Stadium after a first-half brace from Mohamed Salah. Harry Kane scored one 20 minutes from time, but it only proved to be a consolation goal. However, the match could have gone down an entirely different path had the referee pointed to the spot in the 19th minute of the game. Eight minutes after Salah's opening goal for the Reds, Ryan Sessegnon found his way into Liverpool's box. However, he was brushed aside by Alexander-Arnold, with the Spurs players protesting for a penalty. Madley immediately made it clear that the challenge was fair, a decision that was not overturned by VAR either.
