With an FA Cup win over Arsenal in the books, we want you to help us choose Liverpool’s man of the match.

Liverpool looked well off the pace in the first half, and it it weren’t for some heroic goalkeeping by Alisson (and some terrible finishing by Arsenal), the Reds could have been well and buried. Joe Gomez struggled initially, but he stepped it up after a rough opening 15 minutes and absolutely pocketed Bukayo Saka. Jarrell Quansah again belied his age with some calm and composed defending in the center of defense, and even drove the ball upfield on several occasions. Curtis Jones was again strong on the ball, and managed to thoroughly embarrass Ben White. Trent Alexander-Arnold was very good on the defensive end to start the match and was the most dangerous player in the attack as well. The Scouser hit the crossbar and then caused the own goal with a sensational set piece sent into the box.

Now let us know how you saw it. We’ve narrowed down the options to a few of the players we thought had the best performances for the Reds, now make your choice and vote for who you think should be the Man of the Match—or take to the comments to let us know that we got it wrong by not even including the real man of the match in the options.

And as always, a reminder that for anyone visiting on Apple News or Google AMP and looking to cast a vote who can’t see the poll, you can make it visible by navigating to the front page of The Liverpool Offside and loading the full version of the story from there.
