Below, we take a look at some winners and losers on the night, and attempt to disentangle narrative from fact. Szoboszlai finished with an almost perfect 47 for 48 passing. He made a fantastic 1v1 save after Curtis Jones slipped, allowing Diego Gomez through on goal. He did end up with a hockey assist for the second goal from a good crossfield ball for Mohamed Salah, but Gakpo’s only other real contributions was getting fouled. In the end, only Ryan Gravenberch and Hugo Ekitike of the regular starters were rotated out, giving opportunities to Curtis Jones and Federico Chiesa.
