Everton Vs Liverpool Player Ratings

Everton

Jordan Pickford – 7

Pulled off a couple of miraculous saves during the game, but was at fault for Liverpool’s second. Pickford parried a Curtis Jones shot tamely into the path of Salah who had an open goal at his back post.

Jake O’Brien – 6

Was dependable when called upon and kept the in-form Cody Gakpo quiet all night, although wasn’t able to get forward very much though.

James Tarkowski – 9

Looked solid at the back on his 100th start for Everton, made a crucial clearance on the line to keep the score level heading in to half time. Scored a miraculous equaliser in the 95th minute with a thumping volley from close range.

Jarrad Branthwaite – 8

Really nice assist for Everton’s first from a quick free kick and the centre back thought he had a goal in the second half, but the linesman quickly flagged for offside. Looked comfortable at the back throughout and kept a usually productive Liverpool front three quiet.

Vitalii Mykolenko – 7

Rarely able to get forward but when he was able to get into the Liverpool half looked dangerous with some threatening crosses from deep.

Jesper Lindstrom – 7

Cautioned early for dissent, leaving him in a precarious position heading into the second half.

Idrissa Gueye – 6

Fouled Luis Diaz off the ball when running back to defend, giving Michael Oliver no choice but to show a yellow card. Did well to contain the Liverpool midfield in the second half while on a caution.

James Garner – 7

Put a solid shift in and covered almost every blade of grass in Goodison Park before being replaced by Ashley Young shortly before full time.

Abdoulaye Doucoure – 7

Held his own against some of the best midfielders in the league and was unfortunate to get booked for a high tackle in the first half. Missed a big chance to put Everton ahead in the second half with a free header in the box sailing wide. Was shown a red card after the final whistle for dissent

Iliman Ndiaye – N/A

Arguably Everton’s best player so far this season was forced off the pitch in tears just before the half hour mark with a serious looking injury.

Beto – 8

Was brilliant for Everton’s first goal of the game, timing his run to perfection to sneak in behind the Liverpool defence. The finish was as good as the run with a lovely low strike under Alisson giving Everton an early lead. Caused a constant problem for Van Dijk and Konate right until the final whistle.

Substitutes

Jack Harrison – 7 (on for Iliman Ndiaye 25′)

Tim Iroegbunam – 6 (on for Idrissa Gueye 76′)

Carlos Alcaraz – 6 (on for Jesper Lindstrom 76′)

Ashley Young – N/A (on for James Garner 87′)

Liverpool

Alisson – 7

Did well when called upon and even kept Liverpool in the game during the second half with some sharp saves. Arguably could have done better for the Beto goal but like all of Liverpool’s defence he was caught out by the quick pass.

Conor Bradley – 7

Did well to escape a yellow card early on, but was cautioned in added time of the first half for a late challenge. Arne Slot was forced to withdraw the youngster just before the hour mark with Bradley narrowly escaping a second booking on his first Merseyside derby.

Ibrahima Konate – 8

Another solid game for the Frenchman who was on the wrong end of Beto all night. Won every arial duel that he contested (7/7).

Vigil Van Dijk – 8

Liverpool’s rock at the back yet again stood out in defence and alongside Konate the Reds captain was able to keep Beto quiet on an evening where he looked dangerous.

Andrew Robertson – 6

Shown a yellow card early on after a careless shove in the back, but it was kicking the ball away that earned the Scotsman a caution. Tussled well with Lindstrom all night with both shown a yellow for fouls on each other.

Ryan Gravenberch – 6

The usually dominant midfielder struggled to get into Wednesday’s derby and he was withdrawn just after the hour mark as Liverpool chased a winner.

Alexis Mac Allister – 8

Managed to leap above a towering Everton defence for the game’s second goal with an inch-perfect glancing header. Took control in midfield during a game where Liverpool looked vulnerable down the middle at times.

Dominic Szoboszlai – 7

Tested Pickford with a really dangerous shot from outside the box in the first half but struggled to get into the game during the second period.

Mohamed Salah – 9

Beautiful assist for Liverpool’s equaliser, with an inviting cross to Mac Allister getting the Reds back on level terms. Quiet mostly throughout the game but Salah continued his knack of popping up at the right place at the right time to give Liverpool a late lead.

Lus Diaz – 7

Proved to be a constant nuisance throughout the game with his gamesmanship, wasn’t able to threaten the Everton goal much though.

Cody Gakpo – 6

Struggled to continue his good recent form with a quiet evening. Had no real chances going forward and was hooked for Darwin Nunez with 25 minutes left to play.

Substitutes

Cutis Jones – 5 (on for Ryan Gravenberch 61′)

Trent Alexander-Arnold – 7 (on for Conor Bradley 61′)

Darwin Nunez – 6 (on for Cody Gakpo 69′)

Diogo Jota – N/A (on for Luis Diaz 86′)
