Liverpool player ratings as Diogo Jota and two subs good in crazy Southampton draw

Caoimhin Kelleher 5

Will feel he should have done better with the second and fourth Southampton goals. Not his best afternoon.

Trent Alexander-Arnold 7

Whipped in some decent crosses first half and initiated second goal but kept busy defensively. Tremendous assist for the third.

Joe Gomez 5

Understandably rather rusty after so long since a start and somewhat slack in closing down for Southampton’s third.

Joel Matip 6

Asked to do a bit more than usual when covering for Alexander-Arnold at right-back. Opted to play in attacking midfield for parts of closing quarter.

Kostas Tsimikas 5

Struggled to get to pace of game and could have done more to prevent Southampton first. Booked and subbed.

Fabinho 7

Enjoyed himself when pushing forward and claimed assist for second goal. Can be happy with end of season form. Subbed.

James Milner 7

Skipper on his final appearance, involved in plenty before the interval. Then switched to left back for the final-hour of Liverpool career.

Curtis Jones 7

Saw a lot of the ball and keen to keep Liverpool on the front foot during the first half. Subbed.

Mohamed Salah 7

Didn’t get much change out of Lyanco first half but kept at it, setting up Jota’s second, hitting the post and denied by fine save from McCarthy.

Roberto Firmino 7

Showed great patience with finish for Liverpool’s second and lively. Lost ball to spark Southampton equaliser, though. Subbed.

Diogo Jota 8

Just about tucked away the gift for the opener and always a threat going forward, thundering in the equalising fourth.

Harvey Elliott (for Tsimikas 57) 8

Excellent outing from the youngster, who played key part in third goal.

Cody Gakpo (for Jones 57) 8

Lively cameo with plenty of intensity and on hand to score third.

Jordan Henderson (for Fabinho 57) 5

Mistake gifted Southampton their fourth.

Luis Diaz (for Firmino 57) 6

Plenty of potential but not much end product.
