AMRC) Lazar Markovic – 6 ( Lallana – 79′)
The young Serb was selected in his natural role in attacking midfield rather than wing-back, and he paid his manager back with the game’s opening goal. After that though, his end product was a little lapse.
AMLC) Coutinho – 6
In recent months, the Brazilian’s run virtually every match – and if anything, we should be pleased that we still bagged three goals with Coutinho off colour, and Raheem Sterling unavailable injured.
FC) Daniel Sturridge – 7 ( Balotelli – 74′)
Sturridge’s runs and movement were superb, and he showed exactly why we’ve missed him so much. In the first-half, he could have bagged a hat-trick, missing two one-on-ones and hitting the post. He won the penalty though, and left to a standing ovation.
SUBS:
Dejan Lovren – 6 – Fair play. No mistakes from the Croat when replacing Gerrard.
Adam Lallana – 6 – Assisted the winner. Can’t ask anymore.
Mario Balotelli – 7 – Finally, broke his Liverpool Premier League duck. Get in!
