Liverpool player ratings
Adrian
Usually a liability in goal, but he held his own despite not having to deal with much. Good enough.
Rating: 6
Andy Robertson
Very good. Got forward, created a couple chances and also looked like a threat with the ball at times. A really nice shift.
Rating: 6
Ozan Kabak
One of his best performances in a while. Won 18 duels, was great in the air and recovered the ball well. Wasn't facing an electric attack, but he took care of everything he needed to.
Rating: 7
Nathaniel Phillips
Similar to Kabak in that he was superb in the air and won most of his duels. He wasn't the greatest when going in for a tackle, timing poorly, but it resulted in no damage.
Rating: 6
Trent Alexander-Arnold
Fantastic down the right. He put in numerous dangerous balls, had some looks himself and always put a good fit in at the back.
Rating: 8
Curtis Jones
Played 80 minutes and was the most threatening player. He scored the winner with a tidy finish in the box on a loose ball, and he probably could have had another. Really impressive.
Rating: 8
Georginio Wijnaldum
Far from fantastic, but his passing was superb, completing 94.6 percent of his passes. Had a look on goal and also created two shots. Not flashy, but he was effective.
Rating: 7
Thiago
Sharp passing as usual, though he did have a few sloppy moments. Created two chances in attack but the attackers did nothing with them.
Rating: 6
Sadio Mane
Had some creative moments but was never really a threat on goal unless it came when he was offside. Only finished with 48 touches. He just wasn't the focal point.
Rating: 5
Roberto Firmino
Put the ball in the back of the net, but it was ruled an own goal. Still, his positioning was superb, an he was a constant threat. Directly contributed to the goal.
Rating: 7
Mohamed Salah
Wasted a couple really good chances. He was really sharp in his passing and helped create a decent look, but he didn't capitalize on the opportunities he had.
Rating: 5
James Milner (Sub, 76, Thiago)
Late sub to sure up the midfield.
Rating: 6
Naby Keita (Sub, 80, Jones)
Late sub.
Rating: N/A
MANAGER - Jurgen Klopp
They stopped their four-game losing streak in the league and now have a bit of confidence back ahead of the Chelsea clash. The defense is still far from sharp centrally, but they weathered the storm here. Against Chelsea, they must be sharper. But this could help them get back on track for the top four.
