Liverpool’s problems continue after another frustrating draw. Here are the key player ratings:
Dominik Szoboszlai – 8/10
Not a natural winger, so he drifted inside often, but still caused danger. Missed a free kick but finished Liverpool’s third goal calmly.
Hugo Ekitike – 8/10
Led the attack impressively. Scored two excellent goals — one well-taken finish and one sharp poacher’s effort. Linked play well throughout.
Curtis Jones – 7/10
Full of energy, always available for the ball. Hit the crossbar with a great strike and nearly created another goal.
Alexis Mac Allister – 6.5/10
Nice dummy in the build-up to the third goal, but overall didn’t influence the match much.
Alisson – 7/10
Dealt with tough conditions and made good saves. Couldn’t do much about the goals due to poor defending.
Conor Bradley – 6/10
Positioning was shaky but improved as the game went on. Assisted Ekitike’s second. Got booked for a clumsy foul.
Virgil van Dijk – 6/10
Battled hard against Calvert-Lewin and stayed calm. Could have scored with a better header. Clearly frustrated by the defensive mess around him.
Milos Kerkez – 6/10
Worked hard and defended aggressively. Didn’t offer much in attack.
Ryan Gravenberch – 6/10
Provided control in midfield and dropped into defensive positions when needed. Set up Szoboszlai’s goal with a perfect pass.
Florian Wirtz – 6/10
Still lacking confidence and searching for his first goal. Kept possession but didn’t take many risks.
Cody Gakpo – 5/10
Found good spaces but his final pass was poor. Several crosses were off target.
Joe Gomez – 5/10
Lost his man for Leeds’ second goal and backed off too much. Tough appearance.
Ibrahima Konaté – 3/10
A very bad performance. Struggled facing his own goal, gave away a pointless penalty, and failed to stop the equaliser.
Arne Slot – 3/10
Another disappointing night. Chose not to bring Salah on, and Liverpool lost control late in the match
