Alisson Becker 8
Clutched a few tame efforts first half but happy to see Maupay shot flash wide. Excellent stops from Welbeck and March late on preserved clean sheet.
Trent Alexander-Arnold 7
Whipped in one good ball for Robertson and began to dominate right flank before break. Given sterner defensive test in final quarter by March.
Joel Matip 8
Some vital interceptions as Brighton probed early on and superb ball over the top to create opener. Kept things steady at the back second half.

Virgil van Dijk 7
Won an awful lot of headers first half with home side regularly going long and continued to read game so well.
Andy Robertson 8
Great engine down the left flank and worked impressively with Diaz. Wild with one finish, but kept on going after break. Good showing.
Fabinho 6
Bypassed far too easily in the opening quarter and wasn’t able to impose himself fully before break. Slipped under the radar for most part.
Jordan Henderson 7
Began to link well with Salah and Alexander-Arnold once Liverpool got on top. Had one shot saved by Sanchez second half. Subbed.
Naby Keita 7
Got through a lot of work and passing and pressing allowed the Reds to slowly gain the initiative. Shot was handled for the penalty for second goal. Subbed.
Mohamed Salah 7
Denied by Sanchez after one lightning counter-attack and after break dragged one shot wide, hit the bar, scored a penalty and then got injured. Subbed.
Sadio Mane 9
Led the line superbly first half with great work-rate and close with one effort at near post. Moved to the right after Salah’s substitution and continued to impress. Really good.
Luis Diaz 8
Work ethic superb in attack and defence and brave to put his head in where it hurt to score opener. Became threat on counter in the second-half.
Diogo Jota (for Salah 64) 6
Not quite at his best with ball control sometimes an issue.
Thiago Alcantara (for Keita 64) 6
Difficult to get up to speed of game with a few too many flicks.
James Milner (for Henderson 86)
Just enough time for one very solid challenge on Cucurella.
