With tears in his eyes, Mohamed Salah bid a heartfelt farewell to Anfield, delivering his 93rd assist for Liverpool in the Premier League during the 1-1 draw with Brentford. The Egyptian star, 33, started on the right wing as expected, despite recent speculation about being benched following criticism after the loss at Aston Villa.

• Goalkeepers and defenders

  Alisson Becker (6/10): Made a crucial save against Schade before halftime but couldn’t prevent Brentford’s equalizer.

  Curtis Jones (7/10): Filled in at right-back with composure, driving the attack and scoring from Salah’s assist. His involvement in the build-up to Schade’s goal was unfortunate, but his overall contribution was notable.

  Ibrahima Konaté (5/10): Commanding in the air but gave away a needless yellow card for a clumsy foul as his contract nears expiration.

  Virgil van Dijk (6/10): Dominant as ever, though frustrated by another clean sheet slipping away.

  Andy Robertson (6/10): Solid but not spectacular in his final appearance. Schade’s equalizer exposed vulnerabilities, but he received a well-deserved ovation alongside Salah.

• Midfield

  Ryan Gravenberch (7/10): Energetic and incisive, nearly scoring from distance in the first half.

  Alexis Mac Allister (5/10): Worked hard but lacked end product, culminating in a late yellow card for a heavy tackle.

  Dominik Szoboszlai (7/10): Mobile and creative, setting up Gakpo and nearly winning the game in the dying moments.

• Attack

  Mohamed Salah (8/10): Played with intent, missing a sitter from a free-kick that hit the post. His cross for Jones’ goal broke the club’s all-time assist record, surpassing Steven Gerrard.

  Cody Gakpo (6/10): Linked up well but saw his header saved after Szoboszlai’s cross.

  Rio Ngumoha (7/10): Fearless and nearly scored with a curled effort that rattled the crossbar.

• Substitutes and manager

  Florian Wirtz (6/10): Showed glimpses of quality but denied by a brilliant Kelleher save late on.

  Jeremie Frimpong (5/10): Ineffective after replacing Salah on the right flank.

  Arne Slot (5/10): Resisted benching Salah despite recent criticism. His team’s defensive frailties remain a concern ahead of summer reinforcements.
