4 Pope: Should do better for Liverpool’s second goal and dropped a clanger for their fourth late on. Will raise fresh questions about his role in the side.

5 Trippier: Too easily beaten by Wirtz for first goal.

5 Thiaw: Went from one extreme to the other. Brilliant until Liverpool’s second goal, when he stood off Ekitike. Then gave ball away for third goal. Costly errors.
