Alisson Becker - 7

Was calm and commanding in his box when Liverpool faced pressure, which was fairly consistent throughout the game. Couldn't do much about the goal as it took a deflection off Andy Robertson, but perhaps should have been stronger in coming out for Rodrigo Muniz's goal that made it 1-2.

Trent Alexander-Arnold - 5

Alexander-Arnold's typical brilliant passing was was counterbalanced by a poor defensive display. He failed to track Antonee Robinson who provided the assist for the opening goal and was making small mistakes in control all day.

Joe Gomez - 5

Did what was asked of him throughout the majority of the game, including moving into left centre-back for a while after the red card, yet certainly could have challenged Muniz better for his goal. Should have had a penalty when Kenny Tete clattered him off the ball.

Virgil van Dijk - 6

Liverpool's main attacking thrust in the first-half came through his long ball ability and his experience was more than necessary with the team reduced to 10.

Andy Robertson - 0

Sent off on the 20th minute for a mistimed tackle on former Red Harry Wilson, with Fulham clean through on goal. Also wasn't aware of where Pereira was for Fulham's opening goal. The definition of a shocker.

Ryan Gravenberch - 8

Even when moved out of position, Gravenberch's composure, strength and football IQ was on full display. He ensured calm in a makeshift defensive line and defended better than some of the natural defenders on the pitch.

Curtis Jones - 5

It was a difficult job in the middle of the pitch for Curtis Jones all day who had to sacrifice his creativity for a workmanlike performance. Potentially injured from an awkward block immediately before being substituted.

Dominik Szoboszlai - 7

Became Liverpool's main central outlet and source of progression in midfield when the formation had to change and did so beautifully. Could have had a couple of assists if Luis Diaz and Mo Salah had their shooting boots on when he found them.

Cody Gakpo - 7

Was a welcome presence throughout, especially when he levelled things with a perfect diving header for 1-1. His directness gave Liverpool threat all day until his substitution on the 70th minute.

Mohamed Salah - 6

The Egyptian is his usual lively self, giving Antonee Robinson trouble with his dribbling all day. A picture perfect ball allowed Cody Gakpo to level things up, but he was uncharacteristically wasteful all game.

Luis Diaz - 5

Liverpool's main attacking outlet was rated higher until he missed a glorious chance from Dominik Szoboszlai's little chipped ball a few minutes before half-time. Was able to stretch Fulham's defence despite the man advantage.

Substitutions:

Jarrell Quansah - 1

Was unfortunately disastrous in his 20-minute appearance. Was beaten immediately which foreshadowed Antonee Robinson dribbling past him to the byline to create Fulham's second goal.

Darwin Nunez - 6

Was his usual physical presence under Arne Slot when he came on, and managed to get an assist when getting the ball to Diogo Jota for the equaliser.

Harvey Elliott - 5

A welcome return for Elliott, who almost levelled things up with a beautiful curling effort.

Diogo Jota - 7

Welcome back, sir. It only took seven minutes for Jota to equalise on his first appearance in nearly two months, despite only being subbed on on the 80th minute.
