Tottenham Hotspur clashed heads with Liverpool earlier tonight, hoping to pick up a positive result on their home turf. Mohamed Salah scored two goals in the first half to put his side in the lead as Spurs went 2-0 down by the 40-minute-mark. Harry Kane gave his team a lifeline by putting the ball in the back of the net in the 70th minute; however, they failed to score another as the game ended 2-1.
Let’s look at how each Liverpool player fared during the clash against the Lilywhites.
Liverpool Players Rated In Win Vs Tottenham Hotspur
Alisson Becker 7.5
The Brazilian shot-stopper was quick to come off the line and collect the crosses.
Trent Alexander-Arnold 6
Abysmal defending from the England international. He almost gave away a penalty in the first half.
Ibrahima Konate 7
Covered for Trent’s defensive fragility as he put up a solid performance at the heart of Liverpool’s defence.
Virgil van Dijk 7
The Dutch centre-back hardly make a mistake at the back as he helped his side secure all three points.
Andrew Robertson 7
The Scottish full-back fared well defensively and delivered some quality crosses into the box.
Fabinho 6.5
Too slow and sloppy to be playing in front of Liverpool’s defence in a match as big as this.
Harvey Elliott 6.5
Nothing special about the 19-year-old midfielder. He had little to no impact on the outcome of the game.
Thiago Alcantara 7
Carried the majority of Liverpool’s workload in midfield and seemed like the sole link between their attack and defence at times.
Roberto Firmino 6
He has had better performances while playing in midfield.
Mohamed Salah 8
The Egyptian winger was quick to capitalise on the chances he got with exquisite finishing.
Darwin Nunez 7.5
Very lively inside the box and set up the first goal for Salah. However, he looked quite tired in the second half.
Substitutes
Curtis Jones 6
He made a few good passes after coming on.
Jordan Henderson 6
Added stability to Liverpool’s midfield.
Joe Gomez 6
Added energy to Liverpool’s defence.
Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain N/A
It was too late when he came on.
