Simon Mignolet 6

Handed the armband by Klopp, which was a surprise. So too was his ridiculous stepover in the final moments of the first half. Helpless for the goal, and made an important tackle on Lanzini soon after.

Joe Gomez 5

Mixed first half, and he was muscled out far too easily by Lanzini for his goal after the break. His head seemed to go a little after that. Thankfully, he'd recovered by the end.

Joel Matip 6

Scored! From a corner! Needs to do that more. Also needs to keep Liverpool from those nervy, panicky spells that they too often endure. It doesn't have to be this way.

Ragnar Klavan 6

Improved after a ropey start, but then got caught up in the chaos of the second half. Not the answer long-term, but three wins in three since his return.

Alberto Moreno 7

Safe and sound first half, save for one Ayew chance that came from a deflection. Put under more pressure after the break, but made some excellent runs to get Liverpool up the pitch after a rocky patch. Took a foul throw late on. Honest.

Emre Can 7

Solid enough, doing the 'bits and pieces' role in midfield. Looked in control once Liverpool went ahead, though almost went under as the tide turned after the break. Did more good than bad.

Gini Wijnaldum 6

Decent first half, but Liverpool didn't use the ball well enough after the break and their midfield was outnumbered at times.

Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain 7

A vital goal from the wide man, reacting well to his own saved shot. That should give him a confidence boost, as should the fact that he's started a Premier League game now. Rhythm is what he needs. You could see him growing in belief as the game went on. Thankfully, England can't ruin him during the break!

Sadio Mane 7

Back in the side, he set up Salah's opener after a lightning break and well-judged pass. Faded after the break but he's always dangerous, and set up Salah's fourth with a fine carry and pass. Welcome back!

Mohamed Salah 8

Cool as ice finish to open the scoring. His corner led to the second too, and his threat was always there, even if his touch wasn't. And it was certainly there when he banged in the fourth. That's 12 in 17 now. He'll get to 30 at this rate. By Christmas.

Roberto Firmino 8

Some lovely touches, and set up the third goal for Oxlade-Chamberlain. Might have had a couple himself, but his performance generally was excellent.

James Milner (for Mane 77) 6

A smart decision late on by Klopp. Should have scored, mind. Seemed to have balance issues!

Dejan Lovren (for Oxlade-Chamberlain 87)

A much-needed clean sheet.

Dom Solanke (for Firmino 87)

Had a shot.
