But from his five attempted passes, just one successful found a team-mate.
And stats show it was the very first touch of the match.
Allan got the game underway from the centre-spot after Stuart Attwell’s whistle.
The other four passes he tried failed to reach another man in blue – while Demarai Gray restarted the action after Andy Robertson’s 62nd-minute opener.
Two went out of play for throw-ins and the other two found Liverpool stars.
It meant Allan, 31, did not make a single forward pass or a pass in the Liverpool half.
Elsewhere, he won one of his four duals and secured just one tackle.
The Everton midfielder lost the ball five times and made six clearances.

But Divock Origi’s introduction inspired a 2-0 win for title-chasing Kop.
