Liverpool player ratings for the 3-2 win against Nottingham Forest in the Premier League at Anfield
Alisson Becker 8
Gibbs-White attempted one shot, but the player who stopped it made an even greater save after the interval. Neither goal had a chance, and several strong aerial takes helped to quiet the crowd.
Trent Alexander-Arnold 7
Early on, there wasn’t as much space when stepping into midfield, but he developed into a more dangerous player, especially with set-piece deliveries—two of which assisted in goal creation.
Ibrahima Konate 6
Physically challenged Awoniyi in a match that he ultimately won in the first half but found to be much tougher in the second.
Van Dijk, Virgil 6
A threat in the area of the opposition, one header forcing a good save from Navas because of his occasionally slow defensive reactions and nervousness.
A. Robertson, 7
There was a lot of activity down the left and some appealing deliveries were made, not the least of which was the second goal. An unlucky deflection led to Forest’s tying goal and enabled Jota to score again.
Fabinho 6
Although he kept the ball moving, his first-half performance lacked some speed. Subbed.
Jordan Henderson 6
Liverpool’s performance was lacking in pace in the first half, but it became more noticeable as the Reds started to gain control.
Jones, Curtis 6
strongly involved in the early phases, and worked hard, but was a little too secure in their control. Subbed.
Mohamed Salah 7
Very peaceful in the first quarter, but as the space expanded, it became more menacing. beautifully took a goal for Liverpool’s third goal, and a fantastic effort rate.
Cody Gakpo 6
Occasionally stifled by the Forest defense, but one attempt was cleared off the line. Subbed.
Diogo Jota 8
Missed a crucial opportunity in the first half with a free header at the far post, but made up for it with a poacher’s goal and an impressive finish in the second. Subbed.
In support of Gakpo 60, Darwin Nunez
He was involved in his regular way.
60 Thiago Alcantara 6 as a substitute of Fabinho
The passing radar wasn’t properly tuned in.
Luis Diaz (in place of Jota 82)
More favorable seconds.
