LIVERPOOL
Giorgi Mamardashvili – 5
Mamardashvili talked up his readiness to interchange Alisson whereas he was away on mortgage final season however regarded nervous on this massive stage – maybe flustered after failing to avoid wasting Bryan Mbeumo’s early drive via him.
Might do little about Harry Maguire’s header but additionally spilt a Matheus Cunha cross and was lucky Mason Mount could not tuck away the free ball. There have been a few good stops halfway via the primary half however unconvincing.
Conor Bradley – 6
Misplaced simply considered one of his 26 passes however shall be pissed off to not have troubled the United defence. Miscontrolled within the field at begin of the second half when he regarded primed to ship a harmful cross. Off after an hour and noticed Szoboszlai go into his right-back spot. That place remains to be up for grabs.
Ibrahima Konate – 6
Out-jumped by Harry Maguire for the winner to spoil what had been an in any other case spectacular efficiency. Konate has copped loads of flak this season but it surely was he who was often masking for centre-back pal Virgil van Dijk on Sunday. He could not get throughout to cease Mbeumo’s purpose however made loads of different interventions amid the chaos of that first half and performed a unbelievable cross for Isak’s massive one-on-one likelihood.
Virgil van Dijk – 5
Normally imperious however Van Dijk was at fault for Mbeumo’s purpose, clattering his team-mate Mac Allister and ending up out of place earlier than surprisingly making an attempt handy over the goalscorer to Konate. Turned by Cunha and wanted Konate to cowl in considered one of a number of examples of the Dutchman being caught out. His passing and aerial risk have been there – his authority was not.
Milos Kerkez – 5
The left-back regarded overawed within the first half and needed to be advised to settle down by Van Dijk on a few events. Their miscommunication continued within the second half when his centre-back kicked the ball in his face. Did not look snug up towards Amad.
Ryan Gravenberch – 6
Set the tempo on the base of Liverpool’s midfield, taking part in a deeper position than he has ventured into at instances this season however rolled his ankle worryingly early within the second half and needed to come off quickly after.
Alexis Mac Allister – 6
Jamie Carragher says if Mac Allister can get again to his greatest then Liverpool will too – however he was off the tempo once more right here. Clattered by Van Dijk within the build-up to United’s purpose and wanted remedy. Then had little affect within the first half earlier than sparking a counter and capturing over within the second. Subbed off on the hour.
Dominik Szoboszlai – 7
Hit some tremendous long-range passes but it surely was his incisive ahead balls via the center of the pitch which bought Liverpool shifting forwards. His 100 per cent passing accuracy on the break dipped within the second half however continued to contribute defensively and offensively when shifted to right-back.
Mohamed Salah – 5
Probably the most purpose involvements of any participant in Premier League historical past on this fixture – however he is miles away from his stratospheric ranges of the previous proper now. Shot horribly extensive when he regarded set to attain within the second half after fluffing a volley from a nook. There was a superb cross into Gakpo earlier however a mixture of positioning and kind has blunted his risk. Hooked with Liverpool needing a purpose at 2-1 and that stated all of it.
Alexander Isak – 5
Arne Slot stated his British-record £125m striker is able to begin firing now – not on this proof. The massive likelihood got here within the first half when Isak fired his one-on-one likelihood at Senne Lammens. He snatched one other shot extensive from distance and noticed an bold effort blocked away by Luke Shaw later. Not what Liverpool paid the massive bucks for.
Cody Gakpo – 7

Cody Gakpo ranges for Liverpool after loads of strain from dwelling facet.
Scored one equaliser. Ought to have scored one other, heading wastefully extensive after tapping in for 1-1. Earlier was concerned as Liverpool hit the woodwork not as soon as, not twice however THREE instances, with a deflected cross sandwiching two blasts towards posts. Liverpool’s most harmful attacker however will depart Anfield kicking himself for that miss.
Subs
Hugo Ekitike – 6
Misplaced his place to Isak and got here on trying like a person with some extent to show, firing simply extensive not lengthy after his introduction earlier than lacking the goal with one other dig.
Florian Wirtz – 6
A bit cross to Federico Chiesa allowed the Italian to tee up Gakpo for the equaliser. That was some encouragement for the £116m man who had been benched once more and has seen his run of no targets or assists within the Premier League go on. However he stays a giant dilemma for Slot.
Curtis Jones – 6
Tried so as to add vitality to Liverpool’s ahead play and fired a shot on the right track however could not provide you with a second of magic in a fixture he’d like to win greater than most.
Federico Chiesa – 6
One other massive Anfield second for Chiesa this season to cross for Gakpo to thump within the leveller – however this time his late intervention did not earn Liverpool factors.
Jeremie Frimpong – 6
One other high-profile summer time signing who began on the bench however ought to have had an help when he nipped to the byline and crossed for Gakpo. His long-term position on this staff nonetheless unsure.

Harry Maguire header places guests again in entrance
Senne Lammens – 7
Held his personal in a hostile surroundings in his second Premier League begin. Huge save together with his leg to disclaim Isak within the first half. One in every of 5 saves he made.

Misplaced Gakpo for Liverpool’s equaliser and headed over from shut vary together with his facet 2-1 up. It did not matter ultimately.
Harry Maguire – 8

Luke Shaw – 6
Timid defending confirmed Gakpo inside when he struck the submit quickly after the restart. Isak caught to him within the hope of discovering pleasure however solely actually bought free as soon as when Lammens denied him.
Amad Diallo – 8
Completely weighted via ball for the opener. Ran Kerkez ragged down the fitting as he lastly clicked with Bryan Mbeumo. Undoubtedly their greatest recreation taking part in collectively. His staff misplaced one thing when he was taken off.
Casemiro – 6
Lasted almost an hour and put in a good shift because the deepest midfielder after a fast turnaround from worldwide responsibility taking part in in South Korea and Japan. The 33-year-old was unremarkable however did a job which is sweet going after taking part in two full video games for Brazil.
Bruno Fernandes – 8
Lined each blade of grass and regarded exhausted late within the second half however had sufficient within the tank to provide a surprising volleyed help for the winner. Ought to most likely rating to make it 2-0 within the first half, however greater than made up for it ultimately.
Diogo Dalot – 5
Nervous efficiency at left wing-back. His poor cross excessive up led to Liverpool’s counter when Gakpo struck the submit.
Bryan Mbeumo – 8
Good end for the opener to set his staff up completely in a hostile surroundings. His affect waned within the second half however he set his staff on their path to victory.
Mason Mount – 6
Did a defensive job for his head coach because the false 9. Struggled to affect the sport a lot in an attacking sense. Pressured one save and if he was prepared might have scored to make it 2-0 if he had anticipated the ball bouncing for him.
Matheus Cunha – 7
Introduced in as considered one of two modifications and prompted Liverpool issues within the first half beginning on the left of a entrance three that was fluid in possession. Was much less efficient offensively after the break when his staff dropped deeper however put in a disciplined efficiency.

Changed Casemiro after almost an hour however had little affect on the sport. Made an essential block deep in stoppage time to cease a Liverpool cross into the six-yard field. His greatest second.
Patrick Dorgu – 5
Nervous when he got here on to interchange Amad. Crushed by Ekitike twice within the lead-up to the equaliser after which couldn’t block Chiesa’s cross. Too simply crushed.
Benjamin Sesko – 6
Changed Mount after an hour and had a restricted position. Greatest likelihood was a via ball excessive that he took down properly solely to be dominated offside. Performed a pleasant ball in to Cunha that got here to nothing.
Kobbie Mainoo – N/A
