Created an opportunity for Mac Allister in the first half but seemed to tire after the break.Received a yellow card and was substituted.Ibrahima Konate 6.Relished his physical battle with Brobbey and kept things straightforward when in possession. Made some strong defensive headers but lost possession leading to the opening goal, which then deflected off him.Andy Robertson 6.Showed energy on his return and frequently supported the attack, although his link-up play with Wirtz was less effective in the second half.

Perhaps a tad too cautious with possession in the second half.Alexis Mac Allister 6.Had plenty of ball time before the interval, wasn't afraid to get stuck in and hit the post with a header, but began to flag as the game wore on. Moved to a central position in the second half and had a greater impact.Florian Wirtz 7.Started as the floating number 10, pressed well and nearly nudged one past Roefs before switching to the left wing after the break and had a shot deflected in for the equaliser.Cody Gakpo 6.Put in a lot of effort down the left, even if the quality and variation were sometimes lacking.

The tactical changes at half-time didn't work in his favour, though.SubstitutesMohamed Salah (for Gakpo 46) 6.Came on to huge cheers and seemed like a player with something to prove before getting caught up in the general struggle.Curtis Jones (for Gomez 65) 7.Took over at right-back and tried to add more attacking threat, did well to win the ball for the equaliser.Hugo Ekitike (for Mac Allister 74) 5.Failed to make any significant impact.Federico Chiesa (for Isak 86).Made a brilliant dash back to clear off the line from Isidor during injury time.Milos Kerkez (for Robertson 86).Managed to block a header from Van Dijk.Join our new WhatsApp community and receive your daily dose of Mirror Football content.
