Keith Hackett ex Ref Chief called it out @prorefofficial ... time and time again referees are utterly woeful at their job. the inconsistency week on week is truly shocking and yet in Europe the referees are operating at a much higher standard than you. Fans demand fairness, transparency and top class officiating. Over to you.
🚨 "I am 𝐂𝐋𝐄𝐀𝐑 on this" - Ex-PGMOL chief @HACKETTREF says Jurrien Timber should have been sent OFF for Arsenal v Liverpool! 🟥

and this from a rival 👏🏻
🚨Roy keane on Mac Allister and Madueke incident in the last minutes of the game.
Roy Keane 🗣️“I think the game was already decided in the first minutes after Gakpo and Isak penalty incident and we still believe things could change in any moment of the game.”
“I watch the ifferent angles of the video provided by the VAR and still wonder why he wasn’t given a red card there, it was clear and didn’t even needs time to check it.”
“He intentionally did it and the referee was wrong at the point, this shouldn’t be allowed in the league, we have been witnessing this week in and out in the premier league, absolutely the worst thing to happen in todays game.”
“Most surprising thing in today game was that every decision go against Liverpool and it’s another reason to give the away to Arsenal in the game.”
Liverpool was playing against the referee and not Arsenal.”

Liverpool 0–1 Arsenal | Liverpool had the ball. Arsenal had the game.
Liverpool had 17 shots and 1.41 xG at Anfield. Not one of them hit the target. Arsenal scored early, then spent 80 minutes making sure that number stayed at zero.
⚽ The goal came from the press
15': Ødegaard build-up from Alisson, and the ball broke between Alisson and Jacquet. Ødegaard won it back, Arsenal moved it through Guimarães and Madueke, Rice crossed low, and Havertz finished from close range. A 0.51 chance, created entirely by pressure.
It was the only goal, and it came from Liverpool’s own half.
🔴 Liverpool dominated the territory
The numbers say this was Liverpool’s game:
61.5% field tilt.
73 progressive passes against 28.
23 box entries against 8.
23 deep completions against 8.
25 high regains to 13, and a PPDA of 4.8.
Trailing for 80 minutes, Liverpool produced 0.51 xG per 30. They kept coming, but never got through.
🛡️ Arsenal’s block did its job
Liverpool’s 17 shots: nine blocked, eight off target, zero on target. David Raya didn’t have to make a single save.
That’s not luck. It’s how Arsenal defended their box. Liverpool kept getting in, but always in front of bodies: 0.083 xG per shot, and 33 crosses for only five completions. Every time the ball came in, someone was there.
Liverpool’s best chances came late. Mac Allister had a 0.21 chance at 42' and put it wide. Araújo had a 0.30 chance at 76', and it was blocked.
⚡ What Arsenal did with the ball
They didn’t have much of it, but they used it well. Arsenal entered the box only eight times, and 85.7% of those possessions ended in a shot. Rice was the creator: 0.54 xA from deep, including the assist.
Once ahead, Arsenal dropped their rate to 0.13 xG per 30 minutes and protected the box. Less ambition, maybe, but it was enough.

Arsenals player of the match... awful game and never held accountable #LIVARS
Andy Madley roundly booed as he walks off. Some truly dreadful decisions from him today. Not helped by his VAR Stuart Attwell.
