VISIT THE LIVERPOOL MATCH HUBMo Salah – Man of the matchIt is tough to pick one player who particularly shone for the Reds, considering they lost to the team currently sat 20th in the Premier League.Despite that, Salah was definitely Liverpool’s best player simply due to the fact that he got them back into the game after going one down.Jean-Ricner Bellegarde’s loose pass was seized upon by the Egyptian, and he dribbled in trademark fashion before calmly putting the ball past Sa to make it 1-1.He stepped up when his team needed him most, but was let down by some lacklustre defending that summed their struggles from this season up.Salah’s links to Saudi Arabia are not going away anytime soon, but Arne Slot clearly still needs him, and he earns an eight out of 10 rating here.Ryan Gravenberch was off the pace and hooked at half-timeGravenberch has had to play a lot of football this season, and it looked to be catching up with him in the first half at Molineux.The Dutch midfielder is usually so effective and energetic, but his lethargy allowed Wolves’ midfielders to take the incentive and stop any attacks at source.Credit: ImagoHe was booked pretty early on for a poor tackle on Joao Gomes, and was arguably lucky not to have been sent off after committing four fouls in the first half alone.Gravenberch failed to win any of his six attempted ground duels and was taken off at the break for Jones, thus earning a three out of 10 rating.Alisson – 5Jeremie Frimpong – 6Ibrahima Konate – 5Virgil van Dijk – 5Milos Kerkez – 5Ryan Gravenberch – 3Dominik Szoboszlai – 5Alexis Mac Allister – 5Mo Salah – 8Cody Gakpo – 4Hugo Ekitike – 5Substitutes:Curtis Jones (on for Gravenberch 46′) – 6Rio Ngumoha (on for Gakpo 65′) – 7Andy Robertson (on for Kerkez 65′) – 6Joe Gomez (on for Frimpong 72′) – 5Federico Chiesa (on for Konate 79′) – 5 🔴 Don’t Miss a Beat: Your Liverpool Insider Access Get the full story from Anfield and the AXA Training Centre with our dedicated expert hubs: Updated 24/7 with expert analysis from the heart of Merseyside.
