Simon Mignolet 8

As solid as the Times crossword, the Belgian was outstanding in dealing with the high ball. Will nevertheless have been delighted a fine, fingertip save from Capoue resulted in a goal kick.

Nathaniel Clyne 6

Lots of empty space for the right-back to run into, his final ball improved markedly in the second half. Defended doggedly.

Joel Matip 8

Fooled by Niang early on but made some good interceptions and, as ever, was willing to bring the ball out from the back. Composed and confident.

Dejan Lovren 7

Up against Deeney, the Croatian kept things simple. Rarely troubled with Watford happy to sit deep until the expected late barrage.

James Milner 6

Shaded his tussle with the dangerous Amrabat on his 450 Premier League appearance. The left-back didn't stop working although some of his distribution was, shall we say, a bit iffy.

Lucas Leiva 7

Needs to have words with Sane and Rashford about how to dive properly having been booked for comedic simulation. An otherwise Ronseal performance, with an assist.

Emre Can 9

Sent a difficult early header off target and warmed the palms of Gomes with a 25-yard effort, the German offered real drive from midfield. Not to mention one of the goals of the season. What a strike.

Gini Wijnaldum 6

The opening exchanges passed the Dutchman by and while he saw more of the ball after the break, he too often chose the wrong option.

Roberto Firmino 6

Demonstrated some glimpses of close control and quality but will be disappointed not to have been involved more in the final third. Committed a foul throw. A foul throw! Honestly, Roberto.

Divock Origi 6

Improved on his Palace showing, although it was gradual. Struggled a little in the first half but was much better after the interval, drawing a decent stop from Gomes and holding possession much better.

Philippe Coutinho N/A

Took a real whack from Adrian Mariappa in the opening moments and hobbled on for a little while, but never had any chance of recovering.

Adam Lallana (for Coutinho 13) 7

On a lot earlier than he anticipated, it's as though he hadn't been away with a livewire performance the highlight of which was a shot that struck the crossbar. Poor control cost him the chance of a goal second half, however.

Daniel Sturridge (for Origi 84) N/A

Nearly scored.

Ragnar Klavan (for Lallana 86) N/A

Didn't nearly score.
