Liverpool got on the board early thanks to a Ryan Gravenberch strike, but poor play in the back allowed Chelsea to equalize, and neither side could find a winner as the sides settled for a 1-1 draw.
- Marmadashvili (?/10) Some big stops, but was rooted to the spot on Chelsea’s goal.
- Kerkez (5/10) His pairing with Jones did not pan out as the duo allowed Chelsea way to much space to make runs at goal
- Szoboszlai (7/10) Really strong second half. Forced a massive save.
- Jones (5/10) Allowed Chelsea forwards to get behind him too often
- Van Dijk (6/10) Worked in a good position to get a first-half shot but missed a sitter. Ok performance in the back
- Konate (7/10) Best of the defenders
- Gakpo (5/10) Needed to have more touches in the attacking third
- Ngumoha (7/10) One of the best players on the pitch. Surprised he was subbed off
- Frimpong (6/10) Some nice runs in the box. Drew a yellow card
- Gravenberch (7/10) Sublime hit for Liverpool’s goal
- Mac Allister (7/10) Really active in the second half, which drew the appreciation of the Anfield crowd
The Substitutes
- Isak (5/10) Not really his fault, but this score reflects his performance in comparison to Ngumoha
- Chiesa (6/10) Quiet day. Not really given a fair shake under Slot.
- Gomez (6/10) Solid in defense to help see out the draw
Man of the Match
- Ngumoha
The Manager
- Arne Slot (6/10) Strong Starting XI, but a head-scratching decision to sub Ngumoha off
LFC Globe Verdict
Probably a fair result as both teams had a goal disallowed in the second half. Even so, the Reds have to be disappointed to drop points against a struggling Chelsea side
