Liverpool kept their unbeaten run going with a well won 3-0 victory away to Stoke in the Premier League. Here are our Liverpool player ratings:
The last two games brought disappointment despite some great moments. Two leads surrendered to draws against Seville and Chelsea put more pressure on today’s game. Liverpool travelled to Stoke for the cliché cold Wednesday night in November game.
Jurgen Klopp chose to make six changes from the side that drew with Chelsea. Dejan Lovren returned after injury as the only defensive change. The entire midfield and forward lines were given a shuffle.
The big news was Dominic Solanke‘s first league start for the Reds. Klopp put him alongside Sadio Mane and Roberto Firmino who both sat on Saturday. Emre Can made his way back into the first team despite his contract impasse. He was partnered by Gini Wijnaldum and Oxlade-Chamberlain who got a start in central midfield after playing on the left-wing against Chelsea.
Solanke made an impact with his opportunity by playing in Sadio Mane for the opener. Then a nervy 55 minutes came before things were settled by Mohamed Salah who grabbed a brace from the bench.
