Liverpool fans were gobsmacked after Martin Odegaard escaped conceding a penalty with a handball.



After the ball was pumped into the Arsenal box from a free-kick, fans inside Anfield screamed as the ball hit Odegaard on the arm as he slipped over.

Mohamed Salah immediately demanded a penalty as play continued with VAR checking the incident as Liverpool pressed for an equaliser following Gabriel's early header.

But the decision was made that it was not a spot-kick, much to the bemusement of Liverpool fans.

One fan posted on social media: "Odegaard’s playing basketball."




While another wrote: "In what world has Martin Odegaard not handled the ball there? Baffling decision."

And a third added: "Odegaard went full LeBron. How is this not a penalty?"

Speaking on talkSPORT, host Jason Cundy remarked: "There's a huge penalty shout.

"The ball has come in the Arsenal box and Odegaard, it looks like he claws it out with his hand, in the area!"

While Mikel Arteta might consider himself lucky, Liverpool till managed to clamber back into the match minutes later.

A beautiful pass from Trent Alexander-Arnold found Salah one-on-one with Oleksandr Zinchenko and it meant only one thing.

The Egypt international cut in as the Arsenal star faield to keep up with him before Salah executed a perfect shot into the roof of David Raya's net.

Gabriel Magalhaes had put the Gunners ahead early into the contest with a brilliant header from an Odegaard free-kick.
