Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp was bemused as to why his side did not get a penalty for Martin Odegaard's handball in the first half of their 1-1 draw with Arsenal at Anfield.VAR ruled referee Chris Kavanagh had not made a clear and obvious error in not penalising the Gunners captain after his low hand prevented Mohamed Salah getting past him.Klopp disagreed, telling BBC Sport: "The penalty situation is a weird situation, I don't know if the ref can see it, but you look at it and I'm not sure how you can say it's not a penalty."In his post-match press conference the Liverpool manager added: "I didn't see it in the game, I saw it after and I think we all agree it was handball."But I always wait until Mr Dermot (Gallagher) explains it the next day (in his role as a TV analyst) what's really the case."He will find a way to explain to me why it was not handball.
For me it's a clear handball. I have no idea if it would have influenced the result."Gabriel's early header was cancelled out by a brilliant goal by Salah to earn a point and leave the two teams first and second in the table at Christmas.However, the hard-earned point was not without cost as Klopp has a big problem at left-back now as Kostas Tsimikas, deputising for Andy Robertson who has been out since October with a dislocated shoulder, broke his collarbone in a collision which also floored his manager after being pushed by Bukayo Saka."The problem I had in that moment, I thought, 'OK, I am fine,' so I was assuming that Kostas was fine as well and he's actually obviously not fine," said Klopp, who is hopeful a knee injury to Luis Diaz is only minor."He's broken his collarbone at least.
