Liverpool Player Ratings: Forwards
Hit a perfect first time pass to Coutinho to give the Brazilian the space he needed to find the finish. Had a few chances but couldn’t find a good connection on any of them and gave Fabianski relatively easy saves to make. Got his second assist by breaking forward and squaring unselfishly for Firmino to seal the victory.. Right Forward. Liverpool. MOHAMED SALAH. 8
9. Won the ball in the middle of the park to begin the lightning move for the first goal. Buzzed and pressured with all his usual hustle but should have put Liverpool 2-0 up on the stroke of half time. A clever turn made room for him to shoot but he dragged it wide of the left post. Got his goal after 55 minutes with a decisive volley from Coutinho’s free kick. Tucked away his second after Salah squared to him for an easy chance.. Center Forward. Liverpool. ROBERTO FIRMINO
Bobby get his second!!! @22mosalah puts it on a plate for Firmino who puts the Reds four ahead!

PHILIPPE COUTINHO. 9. For third time in a row Coutinho opened the scoring. This one was the best of the lot with an incredible curling finish into the top lest corner. Got the assist with a precise free kick to fall in the 6 yard box for Firmino who dispatched it with ease. He has a goal or an assist every 70 minutes this season. That is world class.. Left Forward. Liverpool
Substitutes
Adam Lallana – 6
Got a solid twenty minutes after Liverpool went 4-0 up. Working his way back to full fitness

Dominic Solanke – 6
He came on for Roberto Firmino denying the Brazilian a hattrick. Had two good chances to score. Connected well with both and was unlucky not to find the target.
James Milner – 6
On late for Robertson to give the Scotsman a rest.
