Given he won the ball, the only argument for it being a pen would be if it was a reckless challenge. It clearly wasn't so the review and overturn is easily the correct call here.
Can kinda understand missing it live since it was bang bang, but VAR did well to call for the review.

How Jones went down is far less physically taxing and dangerous than if he had just flopped straight onto his face since he wasn't going to be able to get his feet under him.
It's not diving, it's just understanding how to go down so you don't hurt yourself after a challenge.

People who dive usually don’t end up breaking their fall with their upper back. Jones as stupid as he was for not shooting was extremely lucky he didn’t hurt himself. It’s not a dive but it’s also clearly not a penalty. Not ever challenge is one or the other
Chelsea got spooked after Liverpool's goal. Signs of a young team whose heart and soul captain is somewhere in Madrid right now.
I think this one was a match for the French chuckle brothers to start in defense as the best attribute Disasi and Badiashile have is their speed.
I'd also put on Nkunku and Neto on at half time for Palmer and Sancho.

Can’t really complain about LFC players going down with Jackson faking injury and Caicedo doing similar around twiceChelsea players getting pissed at how easily Liverpool guys are going down.

He is. He was the leader of this team last season both in games, and by all reports was constantly pushing guys in training and leading by example.

Yo, Goober, where's the meat?
Hard for me to understand the Liverpool PK if Trent on Sancho isn’t given without veering into “the crowd was loud after Salah didn’t get a penalty and the ref got scared.”
Half basically sums up Chelsea. Playing well, getting into spaces, but also always vulnerable.

They also didn’t create much despite their possession. You’d think Liverpool has another gear in the second half. Can’t see Chelsea making their way back from here

They didn’t, because Liverpools CBs are very well structured and Gravenberch is also getting deep. They’re doing well on Trent and Robbo, but not able to really get inside.
