Liverpool 3 – 0 Marseille Player Ratings: Frimpong Electric as Szoboszlai Stuns

Jeremie Frimpong in action for Liverpool against Marseille; he was named Man of the Match.

Liverpool picked up a huge 3 points, beating Marseille 3-0 away. Domonik Szboszlai scored in the final moments of the first half, and Jeremie Frimpong was solid on both ends of the pitch, forcing an own goal to seal the win.

  • Alisson (8/10): Big Saves. Came off his line well all game long
  • Frimpong (9/10): Used his speed to track back and snuff out dangerous moments, and forced the own goal
  • Van Dijk (6/10): The captain was solid in his 350th appearance for the Reds
  • Gomez (6/10): Some big stops on defence, particularly after Marseille made changes at the hour mark
  • Kerkez (7/10): Controlled the pitch. Quick decisions on Reds counters.
  • Wirtz (6/10): Popped up in good positions, but was tentative in front of the goal.
  • Salah  (7/10): His play on the wing has been missed, but he missed a chance late
  • Mac Allister (6/10): Solid first half but mostly quiet after that
  • Szoboszlai (8/10): Beautiful free kick goal just before the half
  • Ekitiké (6/10): Just offside on the potential opening goal. A second offside shows he lacked pitch awareness
  • Gravenberch (6/10): Not a bad game, but relatively quiet

The Substitutes

  • Gakpo (8/10): Nice pass to Salah after coming on and then scored the third goal in stoppage time
  • Jones (6/10): Drew a big foul late as Marseille were pushing for a goal

Man of the Match

  • Frimpong: He was everywhere on the pitch, transitioning from defence to offence very quickly

The Manager

  • Arne Slot(9/10): Brilliant move to start Salah, and did not sacrifice defensive shape when pushing forward
