Right-wing: Mohamed Salah- 5

He got us a way back into the game all by himself. Salah won us a penalty after forcing Ruben Dias into a mistake. He tucked it away too, like he normally he does.

Today’s penalty was his 17th successful one on the bounce for Liverpool. Apart from that though, Mo was fairly uninvolved.

Striker: Roberto Firmino- 4.5

Barely had sight of the ball today, and whenever he did, it wasn’t his best. He did force Ederson into a brilliant save in the first half, but after that, it was substandard from Bobby.

This side is going to need him back at his best as soon as possible if they are to qualify for the top four and go further on in the Champions League.

Left-wing: Sadio Mane- 3.5

Like Fabinho, Mane too had just come back from a muscular injury. This might offer him some protection from criticism, but not entirely.

The Senegalese winger had a massive opportunity to give Liverpool the lead in the first half, but his header from close range went over the bar. Had he converted, the game might have been drastically different.
