Alisson Becker 7
Forced to race out of his area once to stop Saint-Maximin first half but otherwise another quiet afternoon. Confident handling and distribution.
Joe Gomez 9
Excellent in coping with Saint-Maximin down Liverpool right, got forward whenever possible and comfortable in possession. Very good. Booked.
Joel Matip 8
Calm under pressure from Newcastle forwards even if sorties upfield were limited. Stepped up level when the home side increased the pressure second half.

Virgil van Dijk 7
Composed whenever called upon and aerially dominance continued when tested with the emergence of Wood in final quarter.
Andy Robertson 8
Defensively so solid and given a lot of space by Almiron in which to press forward, which he made the most of the longer the game progressed.
Jordan Henderson 7
Playing in the defensive midfield role, helped the Reds ride an opening storm and take control. Safe and solid. Subbed.
James Milner 8
Snapped into tackles early on against his former team, and one such cruncher on Schar created winner. Plenty of energy and covered so much ground. Subbed.
Naby Keita 8
Struck one deflected shot wide, pressed well and such composure to score the only goal after a one-two with Jota. Dug in later on as Newcastle threatened.
Luis Diaz 8
Tormented Newcastle first half with his pace and power that constantly made room. Prospered further after the interval but unable to find the finish his performance deserved.
Diogo Jota 8
Won his fair share of headers, including one the brought good save from Dubravka first half, and fine pass through to Keita for the opener. Twice denied second half as spaces opened up. Booked.
Sadio Mane 7
Missed decent openings in both halves – firing one at Dubravka and another wide – and linked well when dropping a little deeper. Booked and subbed.
Mohamed Salah (for Mane 69) 7
Instantly caused problems for the Newcastle defence.
Fabinho (for Henderson 69) 7
Positioning and tackling helped quell the home tide.
Thiago Alcantara (for Milner 79)
Composed minutes for the Spaniard.
