After a poor first half, Liverpool pulled a pair of goals back early in the second half, but  Manchester United scored the game-winner in the 77th minute to cap off another classic game by the two rivals. 

* **Woodman (6/10)** Solid performance, but could have done better playing that second goal 

* **Robertson  (610)** Solid but not spectacular

* **Szoboszlai (8/10)** A goal and an assist to help the Reds level the contest 

* **Jones (6/10)** Like many players, his rating was boosted by a strong second half

* **Van Dijk** **(6/10)** Would have been higher if not for a few late fouls

* **Konate (7/10)** Good when called upon

* **Gakpo (7/10)**  Much better in the 2nd half in a centre forward role. Calm finish when gifted a chance to tie the game

* **Wirtz (5/10)** One of the few chances in the first half, quiet in the second

* **Frimpong (5/10)** Poor first half. Evened things out in the second 

* **Gravenberch** (**?/10)** Quiet day on the pitch

* **Mac Allister (5/10)** Unlucky day as two of United's goals deflected off of him.

* **Kerkez (6/10)** Tracked back really well to stop a chance

* **Ngumoha (6/10)** Showed his talent, but also was inexperienced when he missed a wide open Szoboszlai

* **Cheisa (5/10)** Late sub. No impact

* **Arne Slot (7/10)**  Slid Gakpo more forward in the second half, which paid huge dividends. Still should have played Ngumoha a bit more

Liverpool showed much The Reds showed better fight in the second half, which was good to see. I just wish that fire had been there for the entire 90 minutes. All too often in the first half, they had possession without purpose.
