Liverpool player ratings:
Alisson – 5
The Brazilian has been one of Liverpool’s best players this season but his error for Fulham’s goal could have been extremely costly.
Trent Alexander-Arnold – 8
The youngster barely had any defending to do but was brilliant in attack with his crosses.
Joel Matip – 7
A quiet game for the Cameroonian overall but did well when he had to in defense especially against Mitrovic.
Virgil van Dijk – 6
The Dutchman made his worst error in a Liverpool shirt when his mistake gifted Ryan Babel an equaliser. he will be thanking James Milner for converting the penalty to give them the 3 points.
Andrew Robertson – 8
An outstanding game from the left-back and was unlucky not to have scored or assisted.
Georgino Wijnaldum – 7
A fairly easy game for the Dutchman and kept the ball ticking for the Reds throughout the game.
Fabinho – 8
Was a calm and composed presence in front of the two centre backs and did everything he had to do well.
Adam Lallana – 6
The former Southampton man had a decent game for the Reds and helped move the game along like Wijnaldum.
Mo Salah – 6
The Egyptian was lively and was a threat down the right flank but missed a golden chance to score late in the game.
Sadio Mane – 9
Liverpool’s best offensive player yet again. The Senegalese international opened the scoring for the Reds and was a constant menace throughout.
Roberto Firmino – 6
An average performance by the Brazilian but did well in the build-up to open the scoring for the Reds.
