Alisson Becker 7
No chance with the goal and decent stop to deny Ramsey later on. Mopped up well as sweeper keeper.
Trent Alexander-Arnold 6
Unable to affect the game from a central area first half and had to defend Villa breaks. Bit more space after that but deliveries too often wayward.
Ibrahima Konate 5
Gave away a penalty for foul on Watkins and somewhat nervy for significant period afterwards. Booked.

Virgil van Dijk 8
Aerial prowess helped repel a succession of Villa set-pieces and covered Watkins well at one point. Unlucky to be flagged offside for potential equaliser.
Andy Robertson 6
Plenty to do defensively while deliveries from out wide weren’t always on point. Subbed.
Fabinho 6
Overworked in midfield first half as Villa looked to press and counter, but stuck to task. Booked and subbed.
Jordan Henderson 5
Attempts to get Liverpool moving forward thwarted by inconsistent distribution. Subbed.
Curtis Jones 5
Started brightly but soon became bogged down and started to lose the ball more often. Slight revival after break. Subbed.
Mohamed Salah 6
Isolated for large parts of the first half and had to work hard to get involved. Second half saw him less peripheral but not particularly effective until his assist for Firmino.
Cody Gakpo 7
Caught by a high boot from Mings, and looked to provide some focal point either by dropping deep or running in behind. Unfortunate to have goal chalked off.
Luis Diaz 5
Occasional flashes aside, too often ran down blind alleys or into Villa players. Looked tired. Subbed.
Diogo Jota (for Jones 63) 6
Lot of effort but not quite the impact he would have wanted.
Roberto Firmino (for Diaz 72) 10
Yes, he scored the equaliser. Have full marks for everything that has gone before.
James Milner (for Henderson 72) 10
Likewise the veteran midfielder. His a Liverpool career very well spent.
Kostas Tsimikas (for Robertson 72) 6
Struggled at first but some testing corner deliveries.
Harvey Elliott (for Fabinho 83)
Minutes.
