Liverpool player ratings as Curtis Jones and one other brilliant against Leicester

Alisson Becker 8

Smothered from Vardy first half. Long pass wide sparked move for opener, and great stop from Barnes after break.

Trent Alexander-Arnold 8

Frustrated early on in his battle with Barnes but soon gained upper hand, and increasingly dangerous whenever stepping infield. Superb free-kick for third.

Ibrahima Konate 8

Used ball reasonably well and strong in the tackle when required. Stopped Vardy in emphatic fashion second half. Booked.

Virgil van Dijk 7

A couple of effective clearing headers first half and led the defensive line with authority.

Andy Robertson 7

Pretty quiet before the break with much of Liverpool’s best work coming down the opposite flank, but more involved afterwards.

Fabinho 9

Excellent in patrolling the midfield, pressing high, winning the ball regularly and using it well. The Fabinho of old.

Jordan Henderson 7

Too hurried in possession early on but steadied himself and involved in build-up to opener and won free-kick for third with strong run. Subbed.

Curtis Jones 9

Was already playing with real confidence before netting the opener and took the second brilliantly. Very, very good. Subbed.

Mohamed Salah 8

Kept on running at Castagne and began to create chances, leading to assists for the first two goals and claimed his 14th of season later on. Missed a good chance, though. Subbed.

Cody Gakpo 7

Should have made it three when firing at Iversen and such a threat when dropping deep. Use of ball so intelligent.

Luis Diaz 7

Struck shot into sidenetting and a little off his best first half, but played key part in opening goal and began to hit his stride after break. Subbed.

Diogo Jota (for Diaz 74) 7

Came close to joining in the scoring.

James Milner (for Henderson 74) 7

Very much enjoyed his cameo.

Fabio Carvalho (for Jones 85)

Rare outing for the youngster.

Harvey Elliott (for Salah 88)

Hello there.
