Although Trent Alexander-Arnold was blasted for his performance against Bournemouth, the overall display from the Reds was impressive given how good the Cherries were on the day against Arne Slot’s side.

Indeed, Liverpool win’s at the Vitality Stadium could go a long way in securing the Premier League title, and one player who caught Martin Keown’s eye post-match was Ryan Gravenberch, who delivered a moment that reminded the pundit of club legend Steven Gerrard.

Speaking on Match of the Day, the former Arsenal defender was blown away by one pass from Gravenberch in the first-half, with Keown amazed by the Netherlands international’s ability to switch the play quality and precision like Anfield legend Gerrard.

Keown said when analysing Gravenberch’s performance against Bournemouth: “This fella is the most improved player in a Liverpool shirt, this is a Gerrard pass, Hollywood ball, a 30-yard raking pass to change the variations of the attack.”

With Jamie Carragher comparing Gravenberch to Patrick Vieira earlier this season, the 22-year-old’s performances have certainly caught the eye this season at Liverpool, with Arne Slot completely transforming the midfielder into something quite special.

And Keown’s comparison of Gravenberch with Gerrard is one that Liverpool fans will love to hear, especially with how promising the former Bayern Munich man has been this season with the Reds in his new role.

How good was Gravenberch for Liverpool against Bournemouth?

Gravenberch has been the revelation of the season for Liverpool this season, with Slot unlocking a part of the midfielder’s game that has made the youngster one of the most exciting prospects in the entire Premier League.

And as per Gravenberch’s numbers against Bournemouth, the midfielder ran the show from the centre of the park alongside Alexis Mac Allister, with the duo proving to be arguably the best pivot in the entire league this season.

With Gravenberch one of Slot’s most trusted players, the youngster will only go from strength to strength in the coming months at Liverpool, and the midfielder is currently on course to become a legend on Merseyside if he can stay fit and keep his form as consistent as it has been this season.
