Match Performance Ratings: Liverpool vs. Fulham

omidbasir- **Alisson (6/10):**
Had minimal action to contend with, with Fulham’s two exceptional strikes being their only attempts on target throughout the match.

**Conor Bradley (7/10):**
Consistently pushed forward on the right flank whenever possible, demonstrating his adventurous spirit which directly contributed to Wirtz’s equalizer.

**Ibrahima Konate (6/10):**
Drew the ire of the home crowd after a contentious encounter with Jimenez. Overall, he managed to effectively contain the Mexican striker for the majority of the match.

**Virgil van Dijk (6/10):**
Played a role in keeping Wilson onside for the opening goal, but it is difficult to fault the Liverpool captain for a lapse in concentration. Like Konate, he was solid defensively and was not a contributing factor to his team’s inability to claim victory.

**Milos Kerkez (6/10):**
Showed commendable restraint with his typically energetic play, delivering a respectable performance at both ends of the pitch.

**Ryan Gravenberch (6/10):**
Maintained possession and facilitated play in a largely unremarkable midfield showing.

**Alexis Mac Allister (5/10):**
Came close to scoring with a header that struck the crossbar, but otherwise had little impact on the game.

**Florian Wirtz (7/10):**
Despite facing physical challenges from seasoned Premier League opponents, he showcased his quick thinking by scoring a crucial goal from Bradley’s dribble. He was substituted for Frimpong.

**Dominik Szoboszlai (6/10):**
One of Liverpool’s standout players, showcasing a combination of direct running and skill. However, he needed to assert himself more in the attacking third for his team to secure a win.

**Cody Gakpo (7/10):**
Started as the central forward in Ekitike’s absence but often drifted to the left side, resulting in some confusion regarding Liverpool’s formation. He thought he had scored a late winner in the 90+4 minute, only for Reed to equalize moments later.

**Curtis Jones (6/10):**
Performed much of the defensive work, allowing Wirtz the freedom to roam in midfield. He displayed a selfless effort, albeit lacking in creativity, and was substituted late for Chiesa.

**Jeremie Frimpong (7/10):**
Came on for Wirtz, providing Liverpool with crucial width and delivering the cross that set up Gakpo’s goal.

**Federico Chiesa (6/10):**
Replaced Jones but could not significantly influence the game.

**Joe Gomez (N/A):**
Substituted in for Gakpo to help secure the lead, only for Reed’s strike to find the top corner shortly thereafter.

**Arne Slot (6/10):**
Liverpool appeared disjointed in the first half but showed marked improvement after the break, ultimately unlucky not to claim all three points.
