Liverpool delivered an emphatic 3-0 triumph over , with several standout performances lighting up Anfield. Here’s how the Reds rated on a commanding night.
⭐ Mohamed Salah – 9/10
A true leader’s display. Salah was electric throughout, constantly unsettling Brighton’s defence with clever movement and sharp decision-making. He crafted multiple dangerous openings, provided the assist for Szoboszlai’s strike, and calmly dispatched his penalty to round off an outstanding showing.
⚡ Curtis Jones – 8.5/10
Operating in an unfamiliar right-back role, Jones impressed with both discipline and attacking awareness. He battled well defensively, contributed key clearances, and made a perfectly timed run to score the opener just before halftime.
🎯 Dominik Szoboszlai – 8.5/10
Returning to action with confidence, Szoboszlai controlled midfield tempo and pushed play into advanced areas. His powerful finish capped a strong all-around performance that kept Liverpool firmly in control.
🔥 Milos Kerkez – 8/10
Energetic and fearless, Kerkez was a constant outlet down the flank. His pinpoint cross set up the first goal, and he backed that up with solid defensive work, winning multiple duels and tackles to help secure the clean sheet.
🧤 Alisson Becker – 7.5/10
After recent criticism, Alisson responded with authority. He made several sharp saves and handled aerial threats confidently, ensuring Brighton never found a way back into the match.
