AM) Adam Lallana – 8/10
A very encouraging performance from the summer signing. Lallana has endured a mixed start to his Liverpool career, but was a constant thorn in City’s side today, and was unlucky not to score.
AM) Philippe Coutinho – 9/10
What more can be said about the Brazilian – he’s truly sensational. He was already lighting up the game with an incredibly skilful performance, before he produced a wonderful goal to win the game for the Reds! If he’d perhaps have bagged another – he gets a 10. Jaw-dropping.
ST) Raheem Sterling – 7/10
Led the line well, working hard throughout the game and thoroughly silencing his critics. Vincent Kompany will be suffering from headaches after trying to keep track of the youngster – because there was little stopping him today.
Subs:
1) Daniel Sturridge – 5/10 – Should have scored when he went through on goal late on
2) Kolo Toure – 6/10 – Added a bit of extra protection in the closing stages
