Virgil van Dijk was Liverpool’s match-winner against Everton, with him and fellow legend Mohamed Salah among the Reds’ best players.
Arne Slot‘s side picked up a massive win on Sunday, as Van Dijk’s last-gasp header sealed a 2-1 victory at the maiden Hill Dickinson Stadium derby.
Here we compare our player ratings with those of the Liverpool Echo, GOAL and the TIA readers.
It was Van Dijk (7.63) who scored highest for Liverpool, as he added another chapter to his iconic career.
GOAL’s Tom Maston hailed his “superb header at the death,” adding that he “did what he needed to do when tested.”
Ian Doyle of the Echo was another who was impressed with Van Dijk, saying he produced some “no-nonsense defending” throughout.
Curtis Jones and Salah shared the second-best rating, both getting 6.98, playing their part in a vital Liverpool win.
Jones was “really good in the latter exchanges,” according to TIA’s Henry Jackson, as he impressed in an auxiliary right-back role.
Meanwhile, Maston claimed that Salah “looked reenergised” for Liverpool, scoring his 257th goal for the club.
What the stats say: Curtis Jones excels
According to FotMob, Jones shone the most statistically, getting an 8.4 rating.
Used at right-back, the 25-year-old had the highest pass completion rate of 94 percent, proving to be as press-resistant as ever.
Jones also made an incredible 28 defensive contributions, which was more than double that of second-placed Ibrahima Konate with 13.
It was another day to forget for Alexander Isak, though, who had two touches inside Everton‘s penalty area and only nine overall in 72 minutes.
