However, the Brazilian could not complete the game as he was forced to leave the pitch following a hamstring injury. Caoimh\u00edn Kelleher did not make the matchday squad due to illness, and the third-choice goalkeeper V\u00edt\u011bzslav Jaro\u0161 made his debut with more than 10 minutes remaining.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Trent Alexander-Arnold: 7.5<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Balanced his game between defence and attack.

Also, played his passes accurately while playing it out from the back.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Virgil van Dijk: 8.5<\/strong><span data-ez-ph-id=\"189\"><\/span><\/p>\n<p>Effectively dominated the likes of Eddie Nketiah and later Jean-Philippe Mateta. Made some crucial interceptions, won the duels and showed his passing expertise as a ball-playing centre-half.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Kostas Tsimikas: 8<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Made the opportunity count as he looked relentless with his overlapping runs, crosses and link-up play with Cody Gakpo down the left-hand flank. Played his part in the build-up of Jota\u2019s goal. Was replaced by Andrew Robertson late in the match.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Ryan Gravenberch: 7.5<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Another decent outing for the in-form Dutchman who went past the opponents with swift turns, intelligent movements and smart runs. Misplaced a few passes that led to Palace attacks.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Curtis Jones: 7.5<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Showed sheer control with the ball on his feet. Improved his off-the-ball work rate. Could have offered a bit more with his final passes. Got replaced by Wataru Endo for the final few minutes.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Alexis Mac Allister: 7.5<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Operated from a slightly advanced role in the centre of the pitch. Played his part in several attacking build-ups but was taken off at half-time for Dominik Szoboszlai.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Mohamed Salah: 6.5<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>A rare occasion when the Egyptian was not on the scoresheet and had to make way for Luis Diaz midway through the second half.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Cody Gakpo: 8.5<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Excellent down the left with his direct runs and dribbles. Set it up perfectly for Jota\u2019s early opener. Tracked back and helped the defence time and again.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Diogo Jota: 8<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Missed a couple of easy-scoring opportunities, but his solitary goal made all the difference this afternoon.
