Liverpool faced off against Manchester United at Old Trafford earlier tonight as they looked to secure a good result on the road in the Premier League. The Reds made a dominant start to the game and scored the opening goal in the 23rd minute when Luis Diaz found the back of the net. Jurgen Klopp‘s men went into the half-time break 1-0 up on the scoreline.
Bruno Fernandes equalised for the home team in the 50th minute before Kobbie Mainoo completed the turnaround with an excellent strike in the 67th minute. However, Liverpool struck back via Mohamed Salah’s penalty in the 84th minute as the contest finished with the Reds being held to a lackluster 2-2 draw away from home.
Let’s take a look at how each Liverpool player performed during the clash against the Red Devils.
GK: Caoimhin Kelleher – 6.5/10
He made a few routine saves at the back but conceded two goals in the second half.

Bradley got stuck in with a few solid tackles and had some bright moments in the opponent’s half.
CB: Jarell Quansah – 5.5/10
He was solid in the first half but made a poor error at the back in the lead-up to Fernandes’ equaliser.
CB: Virgil Van Dijk – 6.5/10
Van Dijk kept things tidy on the defensive end of the field for most of the game and won’t be happy after allowing two goals in the second 45 minutes.
LB: Andy Robertson – 7/10
He did his fair share of defending and made two good chances from the left flank.
CM: Alexis Mac Allister – 7/10
Mac Allister was a positive influence at both ends of the pitch.

CM: Dominik Szoboszlai – 6.5/10
He got himself into some dangerous areas but lacked quality with his shot attempts.

ST: Darwin Nunez – 7/10
He made two inviting chances for his teammates up top and ended the game with an assist to his name.

Substitutes:

He added some energy to Klopp’s midfield.
RB: Joe Gomez – 6.5/10
Gomez was solid at the back and made one decent chance up top.
