Liverpool surrendered a two-goal lead at home to Arsenal in a game which saw boos ring out for Trent Alexander-Arnold's introduction from the bench. Cody Gakpo and Luis Diaz notched a quickfire first-half double to put the hosts in control.

But Alisson picked out goals from Gabriel Martinelli and Mikel Merino after the break, as Liverpool fumbled a result which would have placed extra emphasis on their already-confirmed Premier League title win. Arsenal finished the game a man down when Merino was shown a second yellow card, but the Reds could not capitalise. Here, Express Sport takes you through how each Liverpool player performed on the day...

Liverpool player ratings vs Arsenal (4-2-3-1)

Alisson: 7

Made a good few saves, including one onto the post from Martin Odegaard's long-range effort. Nothing he could have done about Merino turning in the rebound, or Martinelli's opener.

Conor Bradley: 6 (Alexander-Arnold, 67)

Blitzed Martinelli for pace and got a low cross in which Diaz should have scored from, and made an excellent sliding block on Martinelli in the second half. But certainly some issues. A little too ferocious into the tackle sometimes, and didn't do anywhere near enough to stop the Leandro Trossard cross which led to Martinelli's goal.

Ibrahima Konate: 6

A steady afternoon's work. Played a great ball through to Bradley which created a big chance for Diaz.

Virgil van Dijk: 6

Uncharacteristically quiet game for the skipper.

Andrew Robertson: 8

Created a clear opening for Gakpo with a precise ball over the top. Moments after that came to nothing, he crossed in for the Dutchman to head home. Also got stuck into Bukayo Saka during their one-on-one battle.

Ryan Gravenberch: 6 (Elliott, 83)

Some steady dribbling and passing but not as influential as he could have been.

Curtis Jones: 6 (Mac Allister, 67)

Played an excellent outside-of-the-boot pass to Mohamed Salah which created a big chance for Diaz. But got tackled by Thomas Partey in his own box, which really should have led to an Arsenal goal early in the game.

Mohamed Salah: 8

Assumed the role of playmaker to devastating effect in the first half. Set up multiple chances for Diaz and sent a beauty over the top for Dominik Szoboszlai which led directly to Liverpool's second goal of the game.

Dominik Szoboszlai: 7

Superb run was found by Salah and then produced a pinpoint cross for Diaz to tap into a half-empty net.

Cody Gakpo: 8 (Nunez, 66)

William Saliba had the beating of him early on but he made up for that by heading home Robertson's cross. Won a dangerous free-kick later in the game after an eye-catching individual run.

Luis Diaz: 7 (Jota, 79)

Tapped in Szoboszlai's cross but could easily have had more. Should have done better when the ball fell to him inside the box in the eighth minute.

SUBS

Darwin Nunez: 6

No goal for the Uruguayan on yet another substitute appearance.

Trent Alexander-Arnold: 6

Heckled by his own supporters after announcing his departure, which won't have been a pleasant experience.

Alexis Mac Allister: 6

Unable to turn the tide during a 25-minute cameo.

Diogo Jota: N/A

A late addition.

Harvey Elliott: N/A

A late addition.
