Liverpool Player Ratings vs Bournemouth
Hugo Ekitike – 9/10
A dream debut. Calmly finished in a one-on-one to open the scoring and smartly set up Gakpo’s goal.
Cody Gakpo – 9/10
Dominant both in the air and on the ball. Drove through challenges and scored with precision.
Alexis Mac Allister – 7/10
Assisted Ekitike’s opener, unleashed a thunderbolt that forced a save, and pressed tirelessly.
Mohamed Salah – 7/10
Quiet for stretches but still decisive. Produced a brilliant solo goal to seal the win.
Florian Wirtz – 7/10
Classy in possession, dictated tempo with incisive passes. Withdrawn at 2-2.
Milos Kerkez – 6.5/10
Energetic on debut against his former club. Booked for a late challenge and subbed off on the hour.
Jeremie Frimpong – 6.5/10
Defended solidly against Brooks but rarely broke forward. Replaced by Endo.
Alisson Becker – 6/10
Could do little about Semenyo’s finishes. Commanded his box but left exposed by poor defending.
Dominik Szoboszlai – 6/10
Sprayed accurate long passes but lost the ball before Bournemouth’s goal. Struggled with their press.
Wataru Endo – 6/10
Showed versatility, covering at right-back and midfield. Helped stabilize after coming on.
Andrew Robertson – 6/10
Energetic when introduced for Kerkez, though had limited attacking influence.
Joe Gomez – 6/10
Came on for Ekitike and dropped into defence without fuss.
Curtis Jones – 6/10
Replaced Mac Allister, tidy on the ball but lacked penetration.
Virgil van Dijk – 5/10
Headed over from a corner early on. Failed to track Semenyo for the equaliser and looked vulnerable.
Ibrahima Konaté – 4/10
A night to forget. Positionally poor, constantly exposed, and culpable in both goals conceded.
