Never one to sit back and enjoy success, Szoboszlai saw Salah at the breakdown of a long throw for Forest. Turner stood well beyond his penalty area and momentarily considered swatting the ball away as he miscalculated the bounce of Szoboszlai’s thunderous pass. After reconsidering, Forest’s goalkeeper allowed the ball pass through, allowing Salah to score at Anfield for the fifth time in as many league games.
Alisson, GK: 6/10 Not overly busy, yet vigilant enough to never miss a call.
Trent Alexander-Arnold, right-back (7/10), is a versatile player who can control the game from the base of midfield. He may occasionally drop between his center-backs and rush up the wing.
Ibrahima Konate, CB: 5/10 – All knees and elbows. Konate would almost always make contact with the Forest player, even after winning the ball.
CB: Virgil van Dijk – 9/10 – He moved fluidly around the field and easily took down opponents, so much so that he could have easily slipped his business card into their sock.
LB: Kostas Tsimikas – 5/10 – Good but not outstanding.
