Tough going.

Ibrahima Konate 7

Less than convincing, particularly in the air, during the opening quarter but started to impose himself and much, much better second half as Everton sought to continually turn around the visiting defence.

Virgil van Dijk 6

Didn’t have it all his own way up against the awkward Beto and rare sight of Dutchman losing composure.

Persistence in second half paid off with calm finish for second, and later denied by Pickford.

Dominik Szoboszlai 7

Plenty of energy but too many needless flicks and some frustration until shot parried by Pickford shortly before break.

Riled home crowd second half but exactly what Liverpool needed to raise tempo.

Cody Gakpo 6

Lacked consistent service before the break but a danger when able to run into area

Took a knock second half and later subbed.

Luis Diaz 6

Struggled to get into the game first half as the central striker and forced to drop deep for possession

Instantly more comfortable on left and cross sparked second goal

Booked and later sent off after final whistle.

Kostas Tsimikas (for Robertson 69) 6

Solid enough coming in at left-back.

Darwin Nunez (for Gakpo 69) 6

Gave Liverpool focal point in attack for final quarter.

Diogo Jota (for Diaz 87)

Created chance for Salah during brief cameo.
