After the #LIVARS Showdown on Saturday…Liverpool player Virgil Van Dijk is to be Punished by PGMOL for making shocking Gesture and questioning the Referee

During the intense match between Liverpool and Arsenal, Virgil van Dijk appeared surprised by how referee Chris Kavanagh handled the game. The match ended in a tense draw, and Van Dijk seemed to question Kavanagh about his sobriety, mimicking holding a glass in a video shared online.

In the closely contested game, Liverpool managed to come back from a goal down but couldn’t secure all three points. Van Dijk’s query about Kavanagh’s sobriety raised questions about the referee’s decisions during the crucial match. If Kavanagh had heard and acknowledged Van Dijk’s question, the consequences might have been different.

Liverpool’s manager, Jurgen Klopp, expressed confusion over the referee’s decisions and believed his team deserved a penalty. Klopp reiterated, “The penalty situation is strange. I don’t know if the ref can see it, but you look at it, and I don’t see how you can say it’s not a penalty.” Jamie Carragher, a Liverpool legend, sided with Klopp, suggesting that Odegaard was fortunate not to receive a penalty call.

However, commentator Gary Neville offered a different perspective, supporting the decision to dismiss the penalty claims. Neville pointed out that Odegaard’s slip might have influenced the non-call, as it caused an unintentional movement of his arm while regaining balance. The contrasting opinions on the penalty incident added to the post-match discussions.
