Everybody loves Alisson and Luis Diaz but Liverpool star Mohamed Salah judged harshly

Liverpool kept their quadruple chase alive with a FA Cup final victory over Chelsea on Saturday, clinching their second piece of silverware for the campaign.

With a Premier League title and Champions League trophy still a possibility, it was another historic night for the club under Jurgen Klopp. The showpiece at Wembley was goalless after 90 minutes and extra time and the dramatic penalty shootout was won by left-back Kostas Tsimikas.

Our chief Liverpool reporter Ian Doyle was in London to watch the match unfold and he was particularly impressed with goalkeeper Alisson Becker and winger Luis Diaz - who were both awarded nines for their performance.

We also asked you to cast your Reds ratings, which resulted in a similar outcome as Alisson and Diaz were both awarded the highest marks. Supporters also felt Mohamed Salah struggled to get into the game, with the obvious caveat of him unfortunately having to leave the field after 30 minutes due to an injury scare.

Below is how ECHO readers rated the players:

Alisson 9, Diaz 9, Tsimikas 8.2, Alexander-Arnold 8.2, Konate 8, Thiago 8, Henderson 7.8, Van Dijk 7.7, Matip 7.7, Milner 7.5, Mane 7.5, Robertson 7.5, Jota 7.3, Keita 7, Firmino 6.8, Salah 6.4

The Guardian also identified Alisson as a standout performer on the day with a rating of eight, but it was Jordan Henderson that also caught the eye as he too was awarded a high mark.

The Telegraph was in agreement on the Brazilian shot-stopper, while Ibrahima Konate and Diaz were awarded high marks on eight. Salah once again received a low rating, this time only a five.
