Alexis Mac Allister showed as much heart as any Liverpool player in their 1-0 defeat at home to Arsenal, battling and pushing the team on.
The Reds were narrowly beaten by the Gunners at Anfield, with Kai Havertz’s goal damaging the hosts’ outside Premier League title hopes. Here we compare our player ratings with those of the Liverpool Echo, BBC Sport and TIA’s readers.
Mac Allister (7.35) may have produced one embarrassing piece of theatrics, but he impressed for Liverpool and got the highest average rating. 10 never stopped trying to be a difference-maker, with Ian Doyle of the Echo describing him as “easily” his team’s best player.
