Everybody loves Mohamed Salah but Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain fails to impress for Liverpool

Liverpool have put even more pressure on Manchester City in the title race following yesterday's 3-1 win over Norwich City in the Premier League.

The victory at Anfield puts Jurgen Klopp's men within six points of their rivals at the top of the table after City were defeated 3-2 by Tottenham Hotspur in the later kick off on Saturday.

Mohamed Salah, Sadio Mane and new boy Luis Diaz were among the goals and the latter was on the scoresheet for the first time in his Liverpool career following his arrival in January.

We asked for your player ratings after Liverpool's victory and it was Salah that stole the show having scored his 150th goal for the club.

The Egyptian was a threat throughout the 90 minutes and could've had three or four had he been a little more fortunate in front of goal.

Salah received an average rating of 8.4 from ECHO readers, closely followed by Diaz on 8.1.

On the other end of the scale, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain was given the lowest rating from supporters with only 5.3 following a difficult afternoon for the midfielder as he was substituted for Thiago Alcantara just after the 60 minute mark.

What everyone else said

It was Kostas Tsimikas that received the highest rating from Sky Sports as the left-back was awarded a 9 for his performance against the Canaries.

Liverpool's attackers also received plaudits as Salah, Mane and Diaz were all handed 8s for being on the scoresheet, but Sky were less impressed with Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, who only received a 5.

EuroSport awarded Salah and Henderson the highest ratings of the match, both given 8s, but they agreed with Oxlade-Chamberlain's rating of a 5.
