Liverpool sealed immortality in 2019\/20, finally winning the Premier League title. But what was each players standout contribution to the season?<\/p>\n
Last August, the Reds went into the new campaign as Champions League holders, but the holy grail of a league title had evaded them once more.<\/p>\n
What we have witnessed in the 11 months since has been truly remarkable, with 99 points amassed and a worldwide pandemic halting Liverpools title charge for nearly three months.<\/p>\n
Jurgen Klopp and his players have gained legendary status forever, with so many individuals coming up with the goods at different times.<\/p>\n
Heres what we think was each Liverpool players best moment of 2019\/20.<\/p>\n
(NB: Excludes those to have made fewer than 10 appearances in all competitions, which rules out the likes of Harvey Elliott, Caoimhin Kelleher and Andy Lonergan.)<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Alissons assist against Man United was a standout moment of the entire campaign, as he fired an inch-perfect pass to the onrushing Mohamed Salah.<\/p>\n
The Brazilian then raced the full length of the pitch for good measure, producing a world-class knee slide as he celebrated with his team-mate.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Adrian has had an up-and-down first season at Liverpool, but he contributed greatly in the UEFA Super Cup.<\/p>\n
The Spaniard saved Tammy Abrahams must-score penalty in the shootout win over Chelsea, sealing yet another trophy for the Reds.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Trent Alexander-Arnolds meteoric rise continued in 2019\/20, as he cemented his reputation as one of world footballs most exciting young players.<\/p>\n
His performance at Leicester on Boxing Day was arguably the best individual display of the season, with a goal, two assists and a clean sheet to his name.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Neco Williams has come of age this season and he now looks an able deputy to Alexander-Arnold.<\/p>\n
The teenager made his Premier League debut against Crystal Palace in Junean immensely proud moment for a huge talent.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Joe Gomez is very much Virgil van Dijks junior partner at the heart of Liverpools defence, but he became the leader in the FA Cup clash with Everton.<\/p>\n
He was magnificent in the 1-0 over the Blues, performing immaculately alongside the inexperienced Nat Phillips.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Van Dijk has repeated last seasons brilliance, becoming an ever-present in the Premier League for a second season in a row.<\/p>\n
The Dutchmans header at home to United has to be his best moment, although his incredible headed control to himself against Brighton epitomised his class.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Injuries have again disrupted Joel Matips season, but he was in imperious form at the start of the campaign.<\/p>\n
The centre-backs bullet header at home to Arsenal in August set Liverpool on their way to a resounding 3-1 victory.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Lovren leaves Anfield this summer and his season was often miss rather than hit.<\/p>\n
Thats not to say there havent been key contributions, however, not least in the 3-1 win over Man City at Anfield, when he was a rock at the back.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
His brilliant assist against Chelsea comes close, but Andy Robertsons equaliser at Aston Villa in November was a big moment in the season.<\/p>\n
Without his header, and the Sadio Mane strike that followed, the title race could so easily have panned out differently on a day when City looked to have narrowed the gap to just four points.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
The win over City was a day that highlighted Liverpools superiority over their rivals and Fabinho was a monster in the middle of the park.<\/p>\n
The Brazilians stunning strike opened the scoring he would score a similar effort at home to Palace, too.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Theres only one winner here.<\/p>\n
Jordan Henderson became the first-ever Liverpool captain to lift the Premier League trophy it is an image that he will be remembered for forever.<\/p>\n
That Steven Gerrard-shaped shadow looming over him is no more.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
It might not have been pretty, but Gini Wijnaldums winner at Sheffield United was priceless.<\/p>\n
The 29-year-olds volley squeezed through the hands of Dean Henderson to send the away end wild, as Liverpool maintained their 100 percent record in gritty fashion.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
When it comes to scoring a penalty, would you trust anyone more than James Milner?<\/p>\n
The veterans last-gasp spot-kick against Leicester at Anfield was another enormous moment in the title race, as Liverpools relentless march to glory continued.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Naby Keita has been one of Liverpools star men after the restart, having blown hot and cold prior to it.<\/p>\n
The Guineans thunderous strike against Chelsea was his best goal yet for the Reds and further suggests he is on the verge of becoming an increasingly key figure.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain chipped in with eight goals in 2019\/20, including a beauty against former club Arsenal in the League Cup.<\/p>\n
It was his gorgeous outside-of-the-foot finish away to Genk that was the pick of the bunch, though, with the shot hitting the underside of the crossbar for good measure.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Adam Lallana departs Liverpool as a hugely popular figure, with his impact off the pitch valued greatly by Klopp.<\/p>\n
His late equaliser away to United was crucial in its own right, however, preserving the Reds unbeaten record at the time.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
This is an obvious one, isnt it?<\/p>\n
Scoring in the Premier League against Villa was a great moment for Curtis Jones, as was netting the winning penalty in front of the Kop against Arsenal in the League Cup.<\/p>\n
But both pale into insignificance compared to bagging a brilliant winner at home to Everton in the FA Cup.<\/p>\n
A dream moment for any boyhood Red.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Xherdan Shaqiris influence at Liverpool has steadily dwindled, but he has still chipped in sporadically.<\/p>\n
The Swiss slid home a lovely finish against Everton in the league, on a night when he was at his unpredictable, entertaining best.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Takumi Minamino has yet to make a noticeable contribution for Liverpool, so we will go with his outstanding performance for Salzburg at Anfield.<\/p>\n
It was one of the best displays by an opposition player in years, including a well-taken volley.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
The 2-0 win over United felt like the day the title was clinched and Salahs aforementioned goal was the crowning moment of the match.<\/p>\n
He latched onto Alissons long pass in supreme fashion, before finishing well past David De Gea in front of an ecstatic Kop.<\/p>\n
The celebration wasnt too shabby, either.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Mane is a strong Player of the Year contender, producing so many major contributions along the way.<\/p>\n
It is his stoppage-time winner at Villa that will arguably be remembered as Liverpools biggest goal of the season, however, with the Senegalese steering a header into the far corner.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
It may not have been the most ruthless season of Roberto Firminos career, but he still scored the goal that clinched the Club World Cup back in December.<\/p>\n
The 28-year-old finishing with aplomb in the 1-0 win over Flamengo, further etching his name into Liverpool folklore.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
