THE FANS’ VERDICTS

SIMON COX (brightonfans.com/new) The best centre half in the world was magnificent... and his name is Lewis van Dunk! We gave Liverpool no respect but the ref gave every 50-50 their way. Still, mustn’t grumble, we’ve come a long way since Coutinho ripped us apart last season. STAR MAN: LEWIS DUNK

DAVE USHER (liverpoolway.co.uk) Not pretty, but so what? Three points at a difficult venue. Job done. Van Dijk was imperious and Salah stepped it up in the second half. The ‘he makes the most of it’ brigade were at it again, but this penalty was so blatant that not even Kevin Friend could refuse it. STAR MAN: VIRGIL VAN DIJK
