After a poor first half, Liverpool pulled a pair of goals back early in the second half, but Manchester United scored the game-winner in the 77th minute to cap off another classic game by the two rivals.
- Woodman (6/10) Solid performance, but could have done better playing that second goal
- Robertson (610) Solid but not spectacular
- Szoboszlai (8/10) A goal and an assist to help the Reds level the contest
- Jones (6/10) Like many players, his rating was boosted by a strong second half
- Van Dijk (6/10) Would have been higher if not for a few late fouls
- Konate (7/10) Good when called upon
- Gakpo (7/10) Much better in the 2nd half in a centre forward role. Calm finish when gifted a chance to tie the game
- Wirtz (5/10) One of the few chances in the first half, quiet in the second
- Frimpong (5/10) Poor first half. Evened things out in the second
- Gravenberch (?/10) Quiet day on the pitch
- Mac Allister (5/10) Unlucky day as two of United's goals deflected off of him.
The Substitutes
- Kerkez (6/10) Tracked back really well to stop a chance
- Ngumoha (6/10) Showed his talent, but also was inexperienced when he missed a wide open Szoboszlai
- Cheisa (5/10) Late sub. No impact
Man of the Match
- Szoboszlai
The Manager
- Arne Slot (7/10) Slid Gakpo more forward in the second half, which paid huge dividends. Still should have played Ngumoha a bit more
LFC Globe Verdict
Liverpool showed much The Reds showed better fight in the second half, which was good to see. I just wish that fire had been there for the entire 90 minutes. All too often in the first half, they had possession without purpose.
