Liverpool starting XI:

Alisson:Made a stunning reaction save to deny Kamada, shortly before Liverpool took the lead, and plenty of crucial saves after. Back to his best.9

Ronald Araujo:Stuggled against Tyrick Mitchell and Yeremy Pino and picked up an early booking but was involved in the second goal.6

Virgil van Dijk:Made a solid block to deny Jorgen Strand Larsen and was solid but will be annoyed at Liverpool's failure to keep a clean sheet.8

Jeremy Jacquet:Much better defensively after having a poor game against Fenerbahce. Nearly scored just before half-time.7

Milos Kerkez:Constantly pushed up but his final delivery wasn't good enough. Dealt well with the threat posed by Kamada and Mingueza. Conceded the penalty.6

Alexis Mac Allister:Came close with a header early on and shortly after, scored his first Premier League goal of the season with a great header.7

Dominik Szoboszlai:Got the assist for Mac Allister and was influential, particularly with his passing range. Could have had three assists in the first-half alone.7

Cody Gakpo:Unlucky with his pull-back early on and always ensured Liverpool had an outlet down the flanks.6

Florian Wirtz:Pressed really well and after an average first-half, finished nicely for his first Premier League goal of the season. Got the assist for Isak too.8

Bradley Barcola:Looked dangerous but missed a sitter when he blazed over from close range. Got the assist for Wirtz after a good run down the right.7

Alexander Isak:Looked on it from the outset. Made a smart run for Wirtz's goal and persisted well to get his goal late on. Now has seven in the league this season.7

Liverpool substitutes:

Nyoni (on 69, Szoboszlai):Didn't put a foot wrong.6

Munoz (on 69, Barcola):Booked for diving.5

Ngumoha (on 76, Gakpo):

Araujo (on 90, Gomez):

Koumas (on 90, Isak):
