Should have done better for the opening goal as he was wrong-footed by Jota's scuffed finish and beaten again by the Portuguese international when he raced through on goal for the second.
Back in the side following a calf injury and looked rusty. Beaten far too easily for Jota's opener, allowing the Liverpool forward to cut inside from the right, and continued to struggle from then on. Booked for a foul on Curtis Jones in the second half.
Like Tomiyasu to his right, struggled to contain Jota, who had the beating of him all night and got away from him to race through on goal for Liverpool's second goal.
Had fewer issues than his defensive colleagues on the opposite side but lacked his usual authority. Had some awkward moments in possession too.
Had a few bright moments as Arsenal threatened in the early stages but unable to cause Liverpool problems after that and struggled with his distribution, completing only 78 per cent of his passes.
Overrun at times as the only natural central midfielder in Arsenal's sarting line-up, but did create their best chance of the second half with an excellent ball over the top for Alexandre Lacazette.
Returned to the starting line-up after missing the first leg with Covid. Looked bright in the early stages, playing in a deeper role than usual, but his influence waned as the game wore on.
So often Arsenal's most dangerous player but expertly shackled by Andrew Robertson on Arsenal's right flank. Helped create a late opportunity for Gabriel Martinelli but quiet overall.
Lively in the opening stages, his pressing unsettling Joel Matip on a couple of occasions, but uncharacteristically sloppy in possession at key moments. Blazed over with one effort in the second half before making way for Thomas Partey.
Arsenal's only dangerous attacking player, his speed and directness causing Liverpool problems. Almost equalised with a diagonal effort which was pushed over by Caoimhin Kelleher but lost possession in the build-up to Liverpool's second.

Jan 20, 2022 · Aaron Ramsdale – 4 – So slow to react to Jota’s dribbler of an opener, rash to come out for Jota’s second. Not his best night.
Jan 20, 2022 · Jota was slightly fortunate to see his first goal trickle past Aaron Ramsdale but his second was pure genius.
Jan 7, 2024 · Took up some good defensive positions and is very aggressive but he doesn't always look the most comfortable in possession. His pace is a massive asset for the Reds and he helped Alexander-Arnold a couple of times against Gabriel Martinelli. Jarell Quansah — 7. A good performance.

Jan 21, 2022 · Jota’s solo effort put Liverpool 1-0 up before half-time and he added a second after the break, finishing nonchalantly past Aaron Ramsdale. It means the Reds have reached just their second...

Jan 21, 2022 · Jota caused chaos on the ball before firing past an off-balance Aaron Ramsdale for 1-0. The second was far more Alexander-Arnold-like. He saw Jota’s brilliant run in-behind before anyone else, firing a cutting pass over the top for his teammate.
