MOTM

Karius Big question marks over whether he should have saved free-kick Alexander-Arnold Forget defending, bombed forward at every opportunity Matip Looks cumbersome at times, coped pretty well and was fairly solid Lovren Enjoys getting forward for set-pieces, solid enough at back? Moreno For once, stayed back and kept his position in defence. Fairly solid Can Booked Caught in possession, bombs forward a bit too much Henderson Thankless task trying to be only defensive midfielder Coutinho

Scored in his second successive game. In the groove Salah Missed a big chance but was a menace down the right Firmino Booked Fantastic energy. Spartak couldn’t catch him Mane His pace, movement and power are so important to Liverpool SUBS: Sturridge (Mane 70, 5) Wijnaldum (Can 73, 6)
