Dominik Szoboszlai vs Arsenal, 1-0, August 31stSzoboszlai has been Liverpool’s best player this season, so he had to feature somewhere on this list.There may have been cleaner individual displays from him, but the context makes this one special. Hugo Ekitike vs Newcastle, 4-1, January 31stEkitike had to make the list, and his display against Newcastle was the obvious choice.This was his most prolific performance of the season, and it came in one of Liverpool’s most impressive league wins.The Reds had fallen behind to Anthony Gordon’s opener, but Ekitike turned the game around before half-time.His first was a sharp close-range finish after brilliant work from Florian Wirtz.

Alexis Mac Allister vs Qarabag, 6-0, January 28thMac Allister has not had a great season by his standards, but against Qarabag, he looked like himself again.The Argentinian opened the scoring with a back-post header from a corner, setting Liverpool on their way to a rare stress-free night. Mac Allister controlled the game, moved the ball with purpose and played with the authority Liverpool have missed from him too often this season.In a difficult campaign, this was the clearest reminder of what he looks like at his best.
