Despite Arsenal’s struggles, Liverpool approached their trip to the Emirates Stadium for Premier League round 9 with some concerns, and the events over the 90 minutes highlighted how challenging it was for the visiting team to secure even a single point in North London.

Having fallen behind twice, “The Kop” had to lean on the contributions of their star players, including Virgil Van Dijk and Mohamed Salah, to avoid defeat and keep pace with Manchester City in the standings.

Now, let’s review the performances of the Liverpool players in the 2-2 draw against Arsenal at the Emirates Stadium.

Goalkeeper and Defense

Kevin Kelleher (6.7/10)

Although he conceded two goals, Kelleher maintained composure under Arsenal’s pressure and performed admirably. He has proven himself to be a worthy choice as Liverpool’s number one while Alisson Becker is sidelined with an injury.

Trent Alexander-Arnold (7.0/10)

Although he often needed support from Ibrahima Konate, the English defender fulfilled his duties in both passing and attacking. Wearing the number 66 jersey, he was instrumental in creating both of Liverpool’s goals.

Ibrahima Konate (7.0/10)

The French international played with his usual calmness and confidence, but occasional lapses in concentration kept him from achieving a higher rating.

Virgil van Dijk (7.6/10)

The Liverpool captain continued to demonstrate his class during the match against Arsenal. Not only did he effectively manage his defensive responsibilities, but he also scored the equalizer with a header in the 18th minute, helping his team secure a draw.

Alexis Mac Allister (6.2/10)

Alexis Mac Allister’s hard work was evident but the Argentina international failed to make an individual impact on the game, often being outplayed by Declan Rice and Thomas Partey.
