Conor Bradley of Liverpool in action during the 0-0 Premier League draw against Arsenal at the Emirates Stadium.

Liverpool withstood a strong Arsenal push in the first half and dominated play for much of the second as they grabbed a big point at the Emirates with a scoreless draw vs. Arsenal. Liverpool are the only second team all season to take points off the Gunners on their home pitch.

  • Alisson (8/10) Really solid with a big punch and several important saves in the first half
  • Kerkez  (7/10) Good going forward, but struggled to stop Saka in defense
  • Van Dijk (7/10) Helped Liverpool survive the Arsenal push inside the first 20 minutes
  • Konate  (7/10) Much the same as VanDijk. Not much to do after a hectic opening 20
  • Wirtz (5/10)  The forgotten man, His name was barely called all match
  • Szoboszlai (6/10) Much better in the second half to help Reds dominate possession in the second 45
  • Bradley(9/10) Strong in defense and hit the bar on a first half chip shot
  • Frimpong (7/10) Used his speed to cause problems for Arsenal on the wings
  • Gakpo (5/10) Not much in attack, as much of the Liverpool thrust came from the wings.
  • Mac Allister (6/10)  Was pretty quiet, but drew a dangerous free kick at the hour mark 
  • Gravenberch (7/10) Drew a dangerous free kick in the 80th minute 

The Substitutes

  • Gomez (6/10)  Late sub for an injured Bradley

Man of the Match

  • Bradley. He had Liverpool’s only real chance and was strong in defense

The Manager

  • Arne Slot (8/10) Played a lower block in the first half  to withstand Arsenal's push and then made adjustments in the second half as Liverpool dominated play at times. Did not break the Reds’ rhythm with unnecessary subs
