Former Premier League referee Dermot Gallagher says Anthony Taylor was right in his decision to give Liverpool a penalty after David Luiz (Arsenal) pulled the shirt of Mohamed Salah in the second half of the match.

Salah scored from the penalty spot and then added one more to seal Merseyside club’s third victory in three starting matches. Reds are the only team with 100 % result after three match-days.

Cameras caught Salah and Luiz talking with each other after the final whistle. Luiz told Sky Sports after the match: “That’s when I spoke with Momo [Salah] and he said, “I didn’t feel you touch me, that’s why I didn’t go down to the floor””

“I just think this is a great spot by the referee because it happens quickly. Luiz pulls Salah, then lets go and I think Anthony Taylor really did identify this quickly and got it right.” Gallagher wrote for Sky Sports.
