Alisson Becker 8
No chance with Southampton equaliser but superb saves to deny Elyounoussi, Edozie and Adams second half.
Trent Alexander-Arnold 7
Made to work hard defensively to keep an eye on the visitors’ counter-attacks. Stood up to sterner test from Southampton wingmen after break. Subbed.
Joe Gomez 7
Given test by Adams during early stages but soon got to grips with the forward. Solid enough overall.

Virgil van Dijk 6
Lost Adams for Southampton’s leveller. One or two moments of concern second half as visitors stepped up pressure.
Andy Robertson 8
Plenty of space in which to roam and curled in fine free-kick for the opener and superb cross for the third. Subbed.
Fabinho 6
The usual workload although not always the most convincing when in possession. More on the retreat second half.
Harvey Elliott 8
Impressively busy on the right of the midfield three, linked with the forwards and fine pick-out for Nunez’s goal. Subbed.
Thiago Alcantara 7
Unorthodox but effective tackling warmed the Anfield crowd and used ball efficiently. Decent showing.
Mohamed Salah 7
Won the free-kick for the opener, denied a fine goal by Southampton goalkeeper Bazunu and always a threat in possession.
Roberto Firmino 8
Fine header for the opener and caused problems when dropping off the front line. Released Robertson to create third. Subbed.
Darwin Nunez 9
Took his goals well and created good chances for Salah and Firmino. Opportune moments to drift inside evidenced by his second. Subbed.
James Milner (for Elliott 68) 7
Made his 600th Premier League appearance.
Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain (for Firmino 75) 6
More minutes under the belt in a false nine position.
Kostas Tsimikas (for Robertson 87)
Delivered a corner.
Fabio Carvalho (for Nunez 87)
Won a corner.
Nat Phillips (for Alexander-Arnold 87)
Headed a corner.
