Player Ratings: Key Performances from the Match at Anfield

omidbasir- **Gianluigi Donnarumma (8/10):**
Donnarumma had a mixed performance, finding himself fortunate when he flapped at a cross from Salah, which ended up going over the bar. However, he demonstrated his quality with a crucial intervention, punching the ball away from the lurking Ekitike. While he could do little about the spectacular opening goal, his remarkable save from Mac Allister’s powerful shot should be recognized as one of the saves of the season.

**Matheus Nunes (8/10):**
Nunes delivered another strong performance, making a significant impact on the match. He played an inviting through ball to Marmoush, who unfortunately could not capitalize on it. He also effectively dealt with the threat posed by Gakpo and continued to push forward late in the match, ultimately winning a penalty that proved pivotal for the team.

**Abdukodir Khusanov (7/10):**
Khusanov rebounded impressively after a shaky start, showing confidence in advancing the ball and switching play while effectively clearing his lines. Unfortunately, his match ended prematurely due to a concussion in the second half, after which he was substituted.

**Marc Guehi (8/10):**
Guehi displayed exceptional last-ditch defending, successfully intercepting through-balls and standing firm against Ekitike. He received a booking for a foul on Salah, which many fans believed warranted a red card. His relentless defensive work frustrated the team he nearly joined last summer, culminating in several critical blocks.

**Rayan Ait-Nouri (8/10):**
Ait-Nouri showcased his continued improvement, finding success down the left flank. He made intelligent decisions and defended effectively to thwart Liverpool’s counter-attacks.

**Bernardo Silva (9/10):**
Silva turned in an industrious performance throughout the match, playing a vital role in the team’s resurgence. He made a crucial tackle on Salah and aided Khusanov in a difficult situation. His involvement led to a half-chance for Haaland, and he capitalized beautifully when Haaland set him up for the equalizer.

**Rodri (7/10):**
Rodri returned to form with a composed performance in the first half, effectively preventing Wirtz from breaking through and delivering a cross to Haaland, which resulted in a shot on target.

**Nico O’Reilly (7/10):**
O’Reilly utilized his physicality to provide a strong foundation alongside Rodri, helping the team dominate the first half and subsequently turn the tide in their favor.

**Omar Marmoush (5/10):**
Marmoush began brightly but squandered a crucial opportunity after being outmuscled by Konate following a promising setup from Nunes. He was substituted for Cherki in the 60th minute.

**Erling Haaland (8/10):**
Despite a frustrating first half, Haaland remained engaged in the match, playing a key role in the buildup to Bernardo’s goal and converting a penalty emphatically.

**Antoine Semenyo (6/10):**
Semenyo missed a valuable opportunity in the second half but maintained his effort, contributing to the team’s victory by driving forward.

**Ruben Dias (7/10):**
This match marked a significant return for Dias from injury. He nearly scored and made vital contributions in the dying moments as Liverpool pressed for an equalizer.

**Rayan Cherki (8/10):**
Cherki proved to be an impactful substitution, keeping the attack alive leading to the equalizer. He also scored a stunning goal from halfway, which was sadly ruled out by VAR.

**Nathan Ake (N/A):**
Ake came on as a substitute for Semenyo in the 95th minute.

**Pep Guardiola (8/10):**
If this is indeed Guardiola’s final visit to Anfield, it could not have concluded more favorably. He selected a well-balanced team to control the pace of the game and showed faith in his players to continue their fight and turn the match around.
