Substitutes

Gravenberch – 7

Played well, but was outshone by the other substitutes.

Gakpo – 8

Got the important third goal that gave Liverpool some breathing space.

Jota – 9

Changed the game.

His run created the opening for the second goal, when he unselfishly played in Jones.

Won the penalty (albeit controversially) for the fourth goal – although he probably could have just put the ball into the net anyway.

Jota basically did what Jota does as it seems he almost always scores or makes a goal.

Surely will start up front in the next game.

Mac Allister – 7

Good to see him back in the team after recent injury. Played a sublime ball through to Jota that led to the penalty, but most important was minutes back on the pitch for the Argentina.
