Liverpool ratings: Van Dijk, Szoboszlai star vs. Sheffield United

Liverpool secured a 2-0 win over Sheffield United on Thursday night, thanks to goals from Virgil van Dijk and Dominik Szoboszlai. The Reds were made to work hard for the victory, but they ultimately deserved the win.


Virgil van Dijk (8/10)

The Liverpool captain was outstanding at the back, making a number of important interventions to keep Sheffield United at bay. He also scored the opening goal with a well-taken header from a corner.

Dominik Szoboszlai (8/10)

The Hungarian midfielder was a bright spark in the Liverpool attack, creating a number of chances. He finally got his reward in the 95th minute, scoring the second goal to seal the victory.

Other notable performances:

  • Ibrahima Konaté (7/10): The French defender was solid at the back, helping to keep Sheffield United's attack at bay.
  • Alisson Becker (7/10): The Brazilian goalkeeper made a number of important saves to keep the Reds in the lead.
  • Luis Díaz (6/10): The Colombian winger was a constant threat down the left flank, but he could have done better with his finishing.


Areas for improvement:

  • Liverpool's attack was still a bit disjointed, with the forwards often failing to find each other.
  • The Reds also need to be more clinical in front of goal, as they missed a number of chances to put the game to bed earlier.
