Caoimhin Kelleher - 8/10

Couldn't do anything for the goal - just a great strike. Then promptly saved Liverpool from going 2-0 down with a magnificent one-on-one save. Potentially the moment of the match.

Trent Alexander-Arnold - 8/10

Incredible defensive display. He didn't really do all that much going forward, with his line-breaking passes still looking off. But again, he was a rock at the back - just as we hoped.

Ibrahima Konate - 7/10

Remained composed throughout, making crucial blocks when required. Been reliable in possession and controlled Brighton's threat reasonably well.

Virgil van Dijk - 7/10

The captain has been solid other than one worrying moment where a ball in behind caught him out. The press should have been better, certainly, but the Reds required a top save after Van Dijk was taken out of the game.

Kostas Tsimikas - 8/10

We completely undersold how well Tsimikas played in the first version of this piece - defensively, he was virtually perfect. The Greek full-back won seven tackles out of seven to keep Brighton at bay.

Sorry, Tsimi.

Ryan Gravenberch - 8/10

Much, much more influential in the second half. Like a switch flipped. Liverpool's possession numbers grew and the Dutchman saw more of the ball.

Alex Mac Allister - 6/10

Did better in the second half but it wasn't enough to keep him on the pitch. Unfortunate not to score at one point.

Dominik Szoboszlai - 6/10

Another quiet game from Szoboszlai. He was okay, but just didn't get enough happening on the ball.

Mohamed Salah - 9/10

Salah didn’t do all that much in the first half but what a second half. The Egyptian was magnificent, scoring a brilliant winner and just generally looking like a massive threat whenever he got on the ball.

Cody Gakpo - 8/10

He didn't mean to score but they all count! Gakpo's delivery was fantastic and he produced the moment of quality to get Liverpool going.

Darwin Nunez - 8/10

Industrious and eager, his running was a constant outlet - and the Reds needed one, particularly in the first half. Didn't get his goal but made an impact without the ball.

SUBS

Curtis Jones - 8/10

Incredible. He forced the second goal into life, breaking through Brighton with the ball and getting Liverpool forward. But the fact that he can come on to play a midfield two against Brighton to turn a game around and keep things tight? The Scouser has come so far and was a true game-changer here.

Luis Diaz - 6/10

He was bright after coming on but didn't get involved as much as others did.

Wataru Endo - N/A

Conor Bradley - N/A
