Liverpool’s Conor Bradley and Curtis Jones were standout performers in their 2-1 victory over Fulham in the Carabao Cup semi-final first-leg clash. Bradley, who was filling in for the injured Trent Alexander-Arnold, impressed as Liverpool’s best player. The 20-year-old showcased his defensive skills and attacking prowess, making him a valuable squad option. Jones, on the other hand, continues to grow in influence in the midfield this season. His deflected long-range effort equalized the score and he played with industry and inspiration throughout the match.
In terms of player ratings, Bradley received an impressive 8.0, with Ian Doyle of the Echo describing his performance as “very encouraging” and Mark Delgado of TIA praising his fearlessness and ability to take on opponents. Jones received a rating of 7.6, with FotMob highlighting his exceptional passing accuracy and recoveries. Delgado noted his industry and tempo-raising efforts.
Ibrahima Konate and Diogo Jota also played important roles in the victory, earning joint-third best scores of 7.1. Konate was praised for his composure in defense, while Jota found openings in the second half.
However, Ryan Gravenberch had a disappointing performance, receiving a rating of 5.7. Despite one good dribble and shot, he was deemed the worst performer of the match.
Overall, Bradley and Jones stood out as key contributors to Liverpool’s victory, showcasing their talent and potential for future success.
