Arsenal finished the game a man down when Merino was shown a second yellow card, but the Reds could not capitalise.

Nothing he could have done about Merino turning in the rebound, or Martinelli's opener.

Conor Bradley: 6 (Alexander-Arnold, 67)

Blitzed Martinelli for pace and got a low cross in which Diaz should have scored from, and made an excellent sliding block on Martinelli in the second half.

Played a great ball through to Bradley which created a big chance for Diaz.

Virgil van Dijk: 6

Uncharacteristically quiet game for the skipper.

Andrew Robertson: 8

Created a clear opening for Gakpo with a precise ball over the top.

Also got stuck into Bukayo Saka during their one-on-one battle.

Ryan Gravenberch: 6 (Elliott, 83)

Some steady dribbling and passing but not as influential as he could have been.

Curtis Jones: 6 (Mac Allister, 67)

Played an excellent outside-of-the-boot pass to Mohamed Salah which created a big chance for Diaz.

Set up multiple chances for Diaz and sent a beauty over the top for Dominik Szoboszlai which led directly to Liverpool's second goal of the game.

Dominik Szoboszlai: 7

Superb run was found by Salah and then produced a pinpoint cross for Diaz to tap into a half-empty net.

Cody Gakpo: 8 (Nunez, 66)

William Saliba had the beating of him early on but he made up for that by heading home Robertson's cross.

Won a dangerous free-kick later in the game after an eye-catching individual run.

Luis Diaz: 7 (Jota, 79)

Tapped in Szoboszlai's cross but could easily have had more.
