Liverpool 3-0 Southampton: Player Ratings
Here are our player ratings as Liverpool beat Southampton 3-0 at Anfield in the FA Cup. The Reds' kids are something special.
Caoimhin Kelleher: 8
Back-to-back games where he's saved Liverpool. How he's keeping clean sheets in games like this is anyone's guess.
Connor Bradley: 7
Up against pace but handled it pretty well. Not his best game but then his standards for that are incredibly high.
Jarell Quansah: 9
Pretty much perfect. His passing was incredible at times. Just gets better and better.
Virgil van Dijk: 8
An incredibly difficult task for the captain - the most makeshift midfield in front of him and he played 120 minutes the other night. A great 45.
Kostas Tsimikas: 8
A solid game in his first start for an age. As good a squad player as you could possibly hope for.
Joe Gomez: 8
A difficult one to rate as Gomez had a very difficult opening 20. Once he clicked into a brand new role, though, he was brilliant and much-needed.
James McConnell: 7
Struggled at the start but settled into the game very well. Going to be an incredibly useful player.
Bobby Clark: 9
Got one assist but should have had more, really. A huge talent on the ball and one who could be a regular by next season.
Harvey Elliott: 9
Made the second goal and really just made things happen all night. He's proven invaluable through this injury crisis - what a talent.
Cody Gakpo: 6
Genuinely the worst on the pitch for Liverpool and he just couldn't find his feet in front of goal.
Lewis Koumas: 8
Incredible confidence from a debutant and he got the priceless opener for Liverpool. We'll see more of Koumas - he's just got that cutting edge.
Subs
Ibrahima Konaté: 8
Solid as it gets once he came on. The fact he can come on for Van Dijk and the quality doesn't drop is a sign he's a remarkable player.
Jayden Danns: 10
Not sure you can give under a 10 for an 18-year-old coming on for his third-ever appearance and scoring twice for Liverpool against a good Southampton side. He really does look special.
Alexis Mac Allister: 7
Didn't really do all that much once he was on but the Argentine helped see the game out well.
Trey Nyoni: 7
A very impressive debut and we'll all want to see more.
Kaide Gordon: N/A
