Van Dijk had a solid performance, with Liverpool's defense not being flawless. The Guardian noted that Marcos Llorente broke through for the opening goal because Milos Kerkez held him offside, while Van Dijk had few personal mistakes as the leader of the defense. Kerkez had a difficult game with his positioning and passing, but made up for it by winning the ball high up the field in the attack that led to Dominik Szoboszlai's equaliser.

Szoboszlai was the standout player for Liverpool, with 87 ball contacts, winning 6 duels, creating 5 chances, and making 4 successful dribbles. He also scored his second goal of the season.
