Liverpool vs Arsenal Player Ratings
Arsenal
Ramsdale (8/10): A memorable clean sheet for Ramsdale. Nearly gave away a goal at the end.
Cedric (NA):
Ben White (8/10): Compose evening from White. Being a man down did not seem to affect him.
Gabriel (7/10): Couple of nervy moments here and there from Gabriel.
Tierney (9/10): Solid performance from Tierney. He even created Arsenal’s best chance of the game which Saka should have scored.
Lokonga (8/10): Started the game poorly. Grew into it as the game went on.
Granit Xhaka (1/10): Disgraceful from Xhaka, took himself out of the game with an early red card. He will now miss Arsenal’s next three games
Saka (9/10): Saka was a constant threat running at Robertson. Inspiring performance from the youngster.
Martinelli (8/10): A really mature performance from Martinelli. Was a threat on the break.
Lacazette (8/10): Proper captain’s performance from the Frenchman. Lacazette managed to hold the ball well on a couple of occasions.
Nketiah (2/10): Didn’t really do much wrong. However, found himself as the victim of Xhaka’s red and was replaced in the first half.
Substitutes:
Chambers (9/10): Arsenal’s best defender by a mile. Chambers constantly cleared long balls from Liverpool.
Holding (8/10): Holding used his ariel strengths to clear many threatening balls
Nuno-Tavares (7/10): Had a chance to revamp his career after last disappointment. Saw the game out.
Liverpool
Allison (8/10): Made that crucial save off Saka. Distribution on point.
Alexander-Arnold (2/10): Unusually poor game from Trent. He misplaced almost every cross and wasted a couple of corners.
Van Dijk (7/10): Had nothing to do most of the game. Was seen being nonchalant at some moments.
Matip (8/10): His substitution was strange. Matip certainly had better moments than his partner VVD.
Robertson (6/10): Saka turned him inside out and came out on top. Didn’t really attack until the end.
Henderson (4/10): A really poor performance from Henderson. Had next to no impact offensively.
Fabinho (8/10): Carried the midfield until he came off. Didn’t have much of an impact offensively.
Minamino (2/10): Passive throughout the game. Also, missed an open goal to win it for Liverpool at the end.
James Milner (5/10): Standard 5 for Milner. He was bound for an earl sub after Arsenal went down a man.
Jota (3/10): Not quite the evening Jota would have hoped. Struggle to take a meaningful touch in the game.
Firmino (2/10): Similar to Jota but poorer. Firmino was invisible for most of the game.
