Alisson Becker 7

Confidently fielded a number of Fulham shots from range before break and made one smart stop from Muniz. No chance with equaliser and good save from Cairney late on.

Trent Alexander-Arnold 7

Liverpool’s most creative player first half and, while occasionally caught out in defence, curled in brilliant free-kick for opener. Sensible showing after interval. Subbed.

Jarell Quansah 7

Saw a lot of the ball early on as Fulham sat off, and defended reasonably solidly whenever required. Unruffled in possession.

Virgil van Dijk 7

Revelled in a real tussle with the in-form Muniz and composed defensively, but didn’t stand on ceremony when situation demanded it.

Andy Robertson 7

Not many opportunities to push forward first half as he often formed a back three when Alexander-Arnold stepped up, but became major part of forward offensive early in second half.

Wataru Endo 8

Occasional issues keeping the ball in opening stages but always looked to get Liverpool on the attack, before really stepping up second half and key to fine showing. Won ball and moved it on quickly.

Harvey Elliott 7

Targeted for jeers by his former home crowd, lots of energy and careful passing and added creativity second half with awareness and assist for second.

Ryan Gravenberch 7

Too often on the periphery and began to give the ball away in dangerous areas before break, but more than made amends with superb goal to put Liverpool ahead and involved in the third. Subbed.

Luis Diaz 6

Operating on the right flank, started brightly up against Robinson and continued to put in a proper shift although with diminishing returns. Subbed.

Diogo Jota 7

Game passed him by for much of the first half but did win free-kick for the opener. A lot more involved after break and took his goal very well. The Slotter is back. Subbed.

Cody Gakpo 8

Plenty of purposeful running off the left flank and a threat running from deep and forced Leno into succession of saves, pressed well and assisted Jota goal. Fine showing. Subbed.

Alexis Mac Allister (for Gravenberch 74) 6

Added a bit of class to the midfield operation.

Darwin Nunez (for Jota 74) 6

Flicked on a few headers and was offside a bit.

Mohamed Salah (for Diaz 74) 6

A couple of near things for the Egyptian.

Joe Gomez (for Alexander-Arnold 80) 6

Brought on to see the game out.

Dominik Szoboszlai (for Gakpo 87)

Good afternoon, sir.
