Everybody loves Trent Alexander-Arnold but Diogo Jota given harsh Liverpool treatment

Liverpool have progressed to the last eight of the UEFA Champions League, despite falling to a 1-0 defeat against Inter Milan at Anfield on Tuesday night.

The 2-0 victory at the San Siro a matter of weeks ago proved to be enough for Jurgen Klopp's side as they went through with a 2-1 aggregate win.

Lautaro Martinez' second-half strike was the only goal of the game as Liverpool fired blanks, Mohamed Salah hit the post twice on what was a frustrating night for the Reds.

Trent Alexander-Arnold impressed supporters as he was awarded an average score of 7.4 from ECHO readers, closely followed by Virgil van Dijk with a rating of 7.0.

At the other end of the scale, Diogo Jota failed to make an impact as he struggles for form following an injury, the Portuguese international was hooked on 83 minutes and ECHO readers gave him a nominal rating of 5.3.

Full Liverpool player ratings, as voted by you:

Alexander-Arnold - 7.4

Virgil van Dijk - 7.0

Luis Diaz - 6.7

Andy Robertson - 6.6

Fabinho - 6.5

Jordan Henderson - 6.5

Joel Matip - 6.4

Mohamed Salah - 6.3

Naby Keita - 6.2

Sadio Mane - 6.1

Curtis Jones - 6.0

Diogo Jota - 5.3

Chief Liverpool writer Ian Doyle gave his ratings for the Liverpool Echo last night and he agreed with supporters as Alexander-Arnold received the highest rating of 8.

Jota was given the lowest score of 5 as he 'struggled to get into the game' before his substitution.

The Daily Mail's Ian Ladyman and Nathan Salt gave almost the entire starting line-up a 6, while only Curtis Jones and Alexander-Arnold were awarded a 7 and 8 respectively.

Sam Cunningham at i News was far more generous with his ratings as Alexander-Arnold, Alisson, Van Dijk and Fabinho all received a score of 7.

At the bottom of the scale it was a similar story as Jota once again received a 5, along with midfielder Jones.
