Smart stop from Archer second half.

Trent Alexander-Arnold 8

Denied by Ramsdale first half and probed the Southampton defence throughout with his range of passing.



Fewer issues second half as Southampton were pinned back.

Virgil van Dijk 6

Dominance in the air ensured he cleared succession of Southampton corners but partly responsible for opener for his former team.

Kostas Tsimikas 5

Not quite on the same wavelength as his team-mates and some troubles dealing with the lively Dibling.

Subbed.

Mohamed Salah 7

Saw a lot of the ball on the right flank first half but couldn’t quite find the right pass.

Subbed.

Luis Diaz 7

No shortage of endeavour but ran into too many dead ends and found Walker-Peters difficult to pass first half

Totally different story after half-time and did brilliantly to create the equaliser and force second penalty.

Darwin Nunez 7

One shot on turn at Ramsdale but needed more service first half and picked up stupid booking

Subbed.

Andy Robertson (for Tsimikas 46) 7

Provided much more assurance at left-back both in defence and in particular going forward.

Alexis Mac Allister (for Jones 46) 7

Ability and composure on the ball made an immediate difference.

Harvey Elliott (for Szoboszlai 46) 7

Brought plenty of energy and caused the Southampton defence regular issues.

Wataru Endo (for Gravenberch 81)

Introduced to help see the game out.

Jarell Quansah (for Alexander-Arnold 89)

More minutes for the youngster.
