Liverpool player ratings vs Brentford: Mo Salah bows out with sublime assist as Reds wrap up Champions League qualification with final-day draw

Alisson Becker (6/10):

In what might have been his final appearance at Anfield as a Liverpool player, the Brazilian made a sensational and vital point-black save from Schade just before the break. However, he was powerless to prevent Brentford from levelling.

Curtis Jones (7/10):

Once again played out of position at right-back but once again did a fine job. Was heavily involved in Liverpool's best attacks in the first half and then made the crucial breakthrough with a perfectly-timed run to convert Salah's sublime cross. Just a shame that the cross for Schade's header came off his backside, but this was a timely reminder of Jones' quality ahead of his own possible summer exit.

Ibrahima Konate (5/10):

The Frenchman was very strong in the air and also precise with his passing. However, he picked up a silly booking for the kind of clumsy foul that is typical of the out-of-contract Konate.

Virgil van Dijk (6/10):

A typically dominant display from the Dutchman, but he'll doubtless be desperately disappointed that Liverpool once again failed to keep a clean sheet.

Andy Robertson (6/10):

Selected ahead of Kerkez in his last game for Liverpool and was solid if unspectacular. Allowed Schade to get ahead of him for the equaliser, but he wasn't the only one caught out by the deflected cross and - just like his good mate Salah - the Scot received a fully deserved standing ovation when he went off.

Ryan Gravenberch (7/10):

One of Liverpool's livelier players, Gravenberch made a couple of fine driving runs in the first half and also went close to scoring with a decent long-range strike.

Alexis Mac Allister (5/10):

Played with plenty of energy. but this was another worryingly ineffective display for the most part and his frustration was evident in the wild tackle on Igor Thiago that earned him an injury-time booking.

Dominik Szoboszlai (7/10):

Full of running as always and also picked out Gakpo in the area with a terrific cross that deserved a goal, while later teeing up a great chance for Wirtz. By no means amazing but hard to be criticial of the only real contender for Liverpool's player of the season.

Mohamed Salah (8/10):

Played as if determined to bow out with a goal and was so unlucky to see a fantastic, first-half free-kick strike the post with Kelleher beaten all ends up. The ball in for Jones' goal was classic Salah and saw him move ahead of Steven Gerrard at the top of the Liverpool list for Premier League assists.

Cody Gakpo (6/10):

Created a couple of chances for his fellow forwards, and it was the Dutchman who released Salah to tee up Jones for the opener - but Gakpo will be frustrated that his free header from Szoboszlai's cross struck a Brentford defender.

Rio Ngumoha (7/10):

The fearless teenager went at his marker at every opportunity and nearly broke the deadlock with a terrific curling effort that went just fractionally wide.

Florian Wirtz (6/10):

The fit-again German replaced Ngumoha with just under 20 minutes to go, and although he initially looked a little sluggish, Wirtz was only denied a winner by a brilliant save from Kelleher in the dying seconds.

Jeremie Frimpong (5/10):

Took over on the right wing from Salah in the 74th minute but didn't make much of an impact.

Trey Nyoni (N/A):

Only replaced Gravenberch in midfield for the final 10 minutes.

Milos Kerkez (N/A):

Came on for Robertson in the 83rd minute.

Joe Gomez (N/A):

Replaced Konate late on.

Arne Slot (5/10):

Resisted the temptation to bench Salah for his latest outburst and was rewarded with an assist. Ngumoha also did well on his latest start, but Slot has so much work to do this summer to sort out his disastrous defence.
