Liverpool Ratings

1. Alisson Becker (7/10): Made a crucial save to deny Munetsi in the second half and commanded his box well, though he was rarely tested otherwise.
2. Trent Alexander-Arnold (6.5/10): A mixed performance. Delivered some dangerous crosses but was sloppy in possession at times, nearly gifting Wolves a chance.
3. Ibrahima Konaté (6/10): Looked solid in the first half but was fortunate to avoid a second yellow card after a clumsy challenge. Subbed at halftime.
4. Virgil van Dijk (7/10): A composed presence at the back, though he was booked for a foul on Bellegarde. Organized the defense well under pressure.
5. Andrew Robertson (7/10): Energetic and involved in both attack and defense. Provided width on the left and linked up well with Diaz.
6. Dominik Szoboszlai (6.5/10): Worked hard in midfield but lacked his usual creative spark. Had a few decent efforts from distance.
7. Alexis Mac Allister (7.5/10): Controlled the midfield with his passing and composure. Played a key role in the buildup to Diaz’s goal.
8. Ryan Gravenberch (6/10): Showed glimpses of his talent but was inconsistent. Struggled to impose himself in the second half.
9. Mohamed Salah (7.5/10): Scored from the penalty spot and was a constant threat. Had a goal ruled out for offside and created chances for his teammates.
10. Diogo Jota (7/10): Linked play well and was involved in the buildup to Diaz’s goal. Forced a good save from Sa in the first half.
11. Luis Diaz (8/10 – Man of the Match): Scored the opener and won the penalty for Salah’s goal. His pace and directness caused Wolves problems all game.

Substitutes:

• Jarell Quansah (6.5/10): Replaced Konaté at halftime and held his own in defense.
• Darwin Núñez (6/10): Brought energy but had limited impact.
• Conor Bradley (6.5/10): Made a crucial interception late in the game to preserve the lead.
• Wataru Endo (6.5/10): Added stability in midfield during the final stages.
