Liverpool went through to the knockout stages of the Champions League tonight in style after a stunning 7-0 win at Anfield. Here are our player ratings.

There is nothing like a European night at Anfield. Tonight saw Liverpool win their final UEFA Champions League group game to top group E with 12 points and no losses. The Reds are now unbeaten in their last 10 games and head into the Merseyside derby at weekend with huge momentum.

Jurgen Klopp made five changes to the side that beat Brighton last Saturday. As has been the case throughout the group stage Loris Karius came in for Simon Mignolet in goal. Joe Gomez and Ragnar Klavan returned to the side after recovering from illness. Alberto Moreno came in at left back after a game’s rest.

The only other change was Sadio Mane coming back into the team to make a full complement of attackers. It was nice to see Philippe Coutinho be given the armband and he did not let his manager down scoring twice in the first 15 minutes to give Liverpool a great start.

One more in the second half sealed his hattrick to add to a brace from Mane and one each from Salah and Firmino to give each one of the ‘Fab Four’ a goal to remember.

Here's tonight's team against Spartak Moscow.

Substitutes

James Milner – 8

On for Moreno and got Liverpool off to a flyer in the second half with two assists; one each for Mane and Coutinho. Most likely candidate for left back against Everton if Moreno misses time.

Trent Alexander-Arnold – 7

Came on for Lovren in the second half. A rare occasion where he and Gomez were on the field at the same time.

Daniel Sturridge – 7

Grabbed an assist to Mane for Liverpool’s sixth.
