Liverpool 5 – 1 Tottenham – Premier League Player Ratings

Following the draw between Arsenal and Crystal Palace in the week, a single point was all that was required to confirm Liverpool as the 2024/25 English League champions.

The lineup and subsequent ratings are listed below.

Alisson Becker – 7.0

The giant Brazilian stopper was unable to stop the opening goal as Solanke’s header flew into the net. The remainder of the half was rather routine.

The second half needed a few good moments where concentration was required more than skill.

Trent Alexander Arnold – 8.0

The England international was recalled for Conor Bradley and showed good resilience and composure. His defensive and offensive output was on point in a mature first half.

After the intermission, the former academy graduate was involved on the ball and professional throughout.

Subbed – 76 mins

Andy Robertson – 7.0

The Scotland international was recalled and showed good energy and was willing to prove his recall sound.

After the halftime break, the popular fullback carried out his duties with aplomb as he showed composure without overcommitting himself.

Ibrahima Konaté – 8.0

The France international defender was perhaps flat-footed for the opening goal conceded as he was drawn to the near post.

In the second half, the former RB Leipzig man was steady and assured against anything that came his way.

Virgil van Dijk – 8.0

The captain and leader of this team was commanding and happy to deal with his former teammate, Dominic Solanke, as he roared his team to the Premier League title. After the restart, the former Celtic man was colossal and oversaw a dominating win. 

Ryan Gravenberch – 8.0

The Dutch midfielder was strong and considered in the first half as his perseverance allowed the space for Mac Allister to score a screamer. After the break, the former Ajax prodigy was steady and showed better energy to keep the middle ground red.

Dominik Szoboszlai – 8.0

The Hungarian skipper was superb in assisting the equalizer as his running was unmatched in a powerful first half.

After the intermission, the former RB Leipzig man was energetic and determined to show any doubters were misguided.

Subbed – 67 mins

Alexis Mac Allister – 10.0

The Argentina World Cup winner was the man at the moment, as he scored an outstanding goal from a distance to take the score to 2-1.

In the second 45 minutes, the former Brighton man was superb and controlled to guide his men to victory.

Man of the Match

Cody Gakpo – 9.0

The Dutch attacker was unlucky early on with a spectacular effort that flew narrowly wide. His goal was brilliant and in keeping with the way his team was overpowering Spurs.

In the second half the former PSV man was again a continual threat in a very fine performance.

Subbed – 67 mins

Luis Díaz – 9.0

The Columbian forward started through the middle and was an immediate threat who scored a poachers goal to equalize.

In the second half the former Porto man was electric and showed more endeavour when moved to the outside flank.

Subbed – 76 mins

Mohamed Salah – 8.0

The Egyptian King was tentatively menacing in the first half as his teammates swarmed and swaggered around the pitch.

After the break, the record-breaking scorer was more aggressive in getting his goal and was rewarded with a good finish, whereas the own goal should have gone the way of the 32-year-old legend.

Diogo Jota – 6.0 (on 67)

Came on to add guile.

Curtis Jones – 7.0 (on 67)

The Manager;

Arne Slot – 9.0

The Dutch manager picked a team that was designed to overpower a team that would always concede goals in this cauldron of noise.

The substitutions offered opportunities to those who needed appreciation.
