THE KING IS RED ..LONG LIVE THE KING Magic Mo-ment as legend Kenny passes his crown to new Kop idol Salah
Salah 26, Lovren 40, Solanke 53, Robertson 85 Really solid and dealt with limited threats comfortably ALEXANDER-ARNOLD
Brilliant distribution, like Terry Mac with his energy
LOVREN
Brilliant goal, and now forming strong partnership in middle
VAN DIJK
What more to say about one of the world’s best defenders? Class ROBERTSON
Quite possibly the find of the Prem season. Grown so much HENDERSON
Led by example in the middle and kept driving on his team WIJNALDUM
Lovely on the ball, and looks comfortable now in deeper role SALAH
Deserves award for his incredible Prem goals record. Wow! FIRMINO
Outstanding in his link play, missed a couple but who cares MANE
So lively when it mattered in first half, pace & movement awesome SOLANKE
First goal for Liverpool and no one deserved it more
SUBS: Lallana (Mane 74) Woodburn (Salah 84)
Ings (Firmino 84)
MOTM SCHELOTTOMO
RYAN
A couple of big saves but could do little about Reds onslaught Got taken apart on the right by Mane. Glad to get it over
Tough day at the office for entire Brighton defence, struggled
Had to admire his Gaelic football skills, and battled on bravely
What a job trying to mark Salah, but stuck at impossible task
Couldn’t do much to get Brighton out of own half
Difficult task to try and stop the red tide washing forward
Not a proper job unfortunately, but always a difficult ask here
Showed some pace and strength but saw little of the ball
Didn’t see any of the ball, and could do nothing to change things
Hard to recall a touch that he had, but not his fault here Murray (Locadia 57) Gross (Kayal 57)
Goldson (Duffy 71)
