Liverpool – PSV 1-4. The Dutch champions achieved a shock victory at Anfield in the 5th leg of the Champions League. Dennis Man (27 years old) played 89 minutes, when he was replaced by the Bosnian Esmir Bajraktarevic (20 years old).
The Romanian international stood out in the 5th minute, when he embarrassed Virgil van Dijk (34 years old) in the box. The stopper of the champion of England clearly touched the ball with his hand, the “central” Hernandez dictated a shot from 11 meters, converted without problems by Ivan Perisic (36 years old).
Dennis Man's rating after playing 89 minutes in Liverpool – PSV 1-4
Dennis Man got the grade 7 from voetbalprimeur.nl, the smallest in the squad, tied with goalkeeper Matej Kovar, left-back Salah-Eddine and midfielders Joey Veerman and Ismael Saibari.
“He was the least effective of PSV's attack, but still very good. He also showed at Anfield that his transfer was an inspired choice“, wrote the Dutch.
Man was not the most inspired footballer of the Dutch in the historic victory at Anfield. He managed 20/23 accurate passes, attempted 4 dribbles and missed none, touched the ball 40 times.
Completed 8/10 passes in the final third, won 2/3 aerial duels and committed a foul, according to SofaScore.
Dennis Man has played 14 games this season for PSV, scoring 4 goals and providing 4 assists.
Abnormal! It really gave me goosebumps. I am so proud!
Of course, they had the ball for a long time, but I think we defended so well. You should be really proud of that. Also, I think as a team we created the most chances today. They were very dangerous at corners.
Virgil van Dijk headed almost every ball, but I think we just played really well.
