DM) Joe Allen – 8/10
Another impressive performance from the Welshman, who remains criminally underrated. We were among those to criticise him earlier in the season, but he’s really turned things around, and controlled the game tonight.
CM) Jordan Henderson – 7/10
Got the decisive goal, albeit fortunately after Jordi Amat’s tackle deflected off his shins and into the net. Still, a third in as many Premier League games for our in-form midfielder, who can’t do anything wrong right now.
RM) Raheem Sterling – 6/10
The youngster’s versatility again proved crucial as he was moved all over the shop by Brendan Rodgers, especially following the change to a midfield diamond in the second-half. Nothing spectacular, but did a decent job.
LM) Alberto Moreno – 6/10 (Gerrard – 64′)
Started slowly, but grew into the game as it wore on – pushing further and further forward. Rodgers clearly gave the Spaniard the instruction to attack in the second-half, but he was replaced by Gerrard 20 minutes later.
