Arsenal vs Liverpool player ratings: Captain Martin Odegaard beats opponents with ‘masterful technique’, as Myles Lewis-Skelly moves extremely well

Karl Hein: Arsenal dominated territory and possession in the second half, so he didn’t have a lot of work to do. a little calmer with the ball. 6.

Full Time: Liverpool 2-1 Arsenal

Ben White: As the game progressed, he appeared to get a little tired from the heat in Philadelphia. Not too bad, and not too much trouble in the second half. 6.

Jakub Kiwior: As Liverpool’s attacking threat decreased in the second half, he was largely inexperienced. At set pieces, decent in the opposite box. 6.

Gabriel: As Zinchenko, he dealt well with Mo Salah in the second half before Lewis-Skelly moved into the centre. He has an advantage over many central defenders in that he can defend out wide. 6.

Oleksandr Zinchenko: Appears prematurely in a ratings context. n/a.

Thomas Partey: After a mediocre first half, he bounced back to have a stronger second half before leaving. While there are still some loose balls, overall security has increased. 6.

In the second half, Martin Odegaard was once again the key creator for Arsenal. Both the game’s momentum and his influence drastically decreased as a result. 7.

Fabio Vieira: Nelson had previously posed a serious threat on the right wing, but things are now somewhat calm there. Kelleher’s palms were stung by a few excellent balls through and one respectable effort. 6.

Gabriel Jesus: After a strong first half without the ball, a quieter second half. 6.

Leandro Trossard: Again, some excellent touches on the left side. Excellent poise when under pressure on the ball. But it lacked the last touch. 6.

SUBSTITUTES:

The Arsenal players celebrate.

Myles Lewis-Skelly: Like Zinchenko before him inverted really central. Was composed when playing out from the back and in tight spaces. 6.

Ethan Nwaneri: Some nice moments to get on the ball in the final third. Provided one good low cross that someone should have been on the end of. 6.

Eddie Nketiah: One effort came very close to trickling in beyond Kelleher. Relatively quiet after coming on aside from that. 6.

Jorginho: Didn’t get on the ball much after coming on which limited his influence on the game. 6.
