Once again, he proved why he remains one of Liverpool’s most versatile players, capable of contributing in the back four, midfield, and even on the scoresheet occasionally.Andrew Robertson: 7.5/10- One of his best attacking performances in some time, as the Scotsman was consistently involved on the ball whenever it came through the left in the final third. His feint to take a free kick— which Salah ultimately converted— and small touch to Mo confused the defense, showing that his recent scorching form can still influence matches, even subtly.Florian Wirtz: 8/10- He initially held onto the ball too long and passed up shooting opportunities early, but made amends in style with a well-taken goal to double Liverpool’s lead— his first European strike for the club.
Over the past month, he’s truly begun to unlock the player fans believed he could be, and he’ll be a vital part of the side if the Reds are to make a deep Champions League run.Cody Gakpo: 7/10- He constantly found himself in dangerous areas, but a lack of clinical finishing prevented him from getting on the scoresheet. It was encouraging to see Salah back on the scoresheet, even as his role has shifted toward creating, and it feels as though Liverpool’s set-piece prowess is finally turning a corner.Hugo Ekitike: 8.5/10- His link-up play with Flo has been devastating of late, as Hugo used his excellent on-ball ability to set up the German for yet another assist.
He then added a goal of his own, coolly finishing a well-worked breakaway to cap a magnificent performance for the Frenchman as he continues to shine.Substitutes:Wataru Endo: 7.5/10- Came on early for Jeremie and adapted impressively to playing out of position, further marking his second consecutive match subbing in for an injured teammate. He could see even more minutes as Liverpool’s injury issues continue to mount.Rio Ngumoha: 7/10- Came on with the match already decided, but still looked to get involved whenever possible.
