Player | Rating
GK: Caoimhin Kelleher – 7.2/10
Kelleher had little to do in terms of shot-stopping but was solid with his distribution and overall contribution in goal.
RB: Conor Bradley – 8.5/10
Stepped in confidently for Trent Alexander-Arnold, constantly overlapping and offering a strong presence at both ends of the pitch. His key tackle on Son and his attack-minded play earned him a well-deserved rating.

A solid display from Konaté. Though his passing invited some pressure, he was composed defensively and handled Spurs’ attack well.
CB: Virgil van Dijk – 8.4/10
Dominated in the air and on the ground. His leadership was evident, and he capped off his performance with a towering header for Liverpool’s fourth goal. A rock at the back.

Robertson kept Dejan Kulusevski at bay while linking up well with Gakpo. His defensive work was solid, and he supported the attack when needed.
CM: Curtis Jones – 7.7/10
Brought in for Mac Allister, Jones was steady in his defensive duties and linked well with Gravenberch. While his attacking contributions weren’t as high, he was solid in the midfield battle.

Salah was a constant threat, setting up Gakpo for the opening goal and converting his penalty with ease. His vision and passing were superb throughout.

Szoboszlai was everywhere – covering ground, testing Spurs’ defense, and getting into good positions. He scored a crucial goal after a brilliant assist from Bradley.
LM: Cody Gakpo – 8.5/10
Took his goal exceptionally well, creating chances for teammates, and was one of the standout performers of the match. His work ethic and finishing were key in the win.
