Scroll down for talkSPORT.com’s player ratings.
Alisson – 6Virgil van Dijk bailed the goalkeeper out with a last-ditch tackle onGerard Deulofeu after his wayward pass in the early stages of the game. Made a good save to denyRoberto Pereyra in the first-half.
Trent Alexander-Arnold – 8His stunning 20-yard free-kick wrapped up the points for Liverpool. The 20-year-old is developing into a very accomplished full-back.
Dejan Lovren – 7Coming in for Joe Gomez, who missed the game with a minor knock, he handled Troy Deeney’s physical presence well.
4Mohamed Salah netted his ninth goal of the seasonVirgil van Dijk – 8He’s so calm on the ball and deceptively quick. His fine start to the season continues. He is a leader in that Liverpool defence.
Andrew Robertson – 5Not his best display today. The Scot was very lucky not to concede a penalty when he tripped Will Hughes in the box at 0-0. Robertson was picked out in good positions, but his crosses rarely found a Liverpool shirt.
Jordan Henderson – 4Kept Liverpool’s midfield ticking nicely, but made his team play the remaining eight minutes with 10 men after picking up two avoidable yellow cards.
4Roberto Firmino scored his first league goal since SeptemberGeorginio Wijnaldum – 5A quiet game for the Dutchman after his starring role for the Netherlands in their progression to the Nations League semi-finals.
Xherdan Shaqiri – 5Kept trying to pick that killer pass, which never came off. Failed to build on his impressive performance against Fulham.
Mohamed Salah – 7Grabbed his ninth goal of the season by showing his usual composure to finish after good work from Sadio Mane. Always tried to run in behind.
4Jordan Henderson was sent off in the 82nd-minute after receiving his second yellow cardRoberto Firmino – 9Jurgen Klopp has deployed the Brazilian in a deeper position to accommodate Mohamed Salah in recent weeks – and it’s giving the team more balance. He was involved in all three goals; playing Mane in to cross for Salah, winning the free-kick which Alexander-Arnold superbly scored and getting himself on the scoresheet with a close-range header.
Sadio Mane 8He celebrated his new long-term contract with an assist. He is so important to this Liverpool side. The Senegalese attacker was a constant threat for the Reds with his industrious work-rate and quality.
Sub: James Milner – 5Brought on forXherdan Shaqiri, he gave the Reds more security in midfield.
Sub: Fabinho – N/AOnly played the remaining four minutes.
Sub: Joel Matip – N/ACame on in injury-time.
