Here is a list of each Liverpool player’s ratings at the 3-1 win against Bournemouth in Anfield, according to outlet Liverpool Echo.
Alisson Becker (8)
In the beginning, Alisson Becker wasn’t quite steady, and he got booked for a foul when he lost control of the ball outside the designated area. However, as time went on, he made three excellent saves during the final moments of the match.

Trent Alexander-Arnold (6)
Trent Alexander-Arnold had a bit of trouble when Bournemouth scored a goal, as he was caught off guard too easily. But he managed to make up for it a bit by contributing to the equalizing goal. He even challenged Neto with a strong shot. Unfortunately, he was limping when he had to be substituted.
Ibrahima Konate (6)
At the start, Liverpool experienced some uncertainty, which was reflected in Ibrahima Konate’s occasional missed tackles. However, he gradually got better.
Andy Robertson (6)
Andy Robertson began the match with a lot of uncertainty, and he was somewhat unlucky when his challenge on Solanke led to Semenyo’s goal. After that, he settled down a bit.
Alexis Mac Allister (5)
Alexis Mac Allister faced difficulty as Bournemouth swarmed around him in the opening quarter, although he showed promise while going forward. His red card seemed very harsh after a foul on Christie.
Virgil van Dijk (7)
Virgil van Dijk made an unwise decision by playing the ball into midfield, which led to Bournemouth’s opening goal. He hit the crossbar with a header and sent another shot wide. However, he won the battle against Moore in the second half.
Dominik Szoboszlai (9)
Dominik Szoboszlai started with some difficulty, bouncing off possession early on. Nevertheless, he began to adapt, and his clever footwork won a penalty. He had an outstanding second-half performance full of purpose and power, including a shot that prompted the third goal.
Luis Diaz (8)
Luis Diaz seemed out of sorts at the beginning, like many teammates. However, he kept running forward and scored his equalizer superbly. He found his groove in the second half and contributed to the team effort when Liverpool was down to 10 players. He was eventually substituted.
Diogo Jota (8)
Diogo Jota initially missed a decent chance due to a bad touch, but he did well to break into the area and set up Diaz for Liverpool’s first goal. He became more active after the break and reacted quickly to score the third goal. He was later substituted.
Mohamed Salah (7)
Mohamed Salah spent much of the first half frustrated and had a poor penalty attempt, but he was alert enough to capitalize on the rebound. He found more space in the second half and worked hard when Liverpool was reduced to 10 players. He was eventually substituted.
Cody Gakpo (6)
Cody Gakpo put in a significant effort, but he often seemed unsure whether to stay in midfield or push forward. He improved a bit after the break but was substituted following Mac Allister’s red card.
Wataru Endo (6)
Wataru Endo (substituted for Gakpo in the 63rd minute) found himself making his debut in unexpected circumstances and was nervous initially, but he managed to steady the situation.
Joe Gomez (6)
Joe Gomez (substituted for Alexander-Arnold in the 76th minute) aimed to secure the right side of the defense.
