Liverpool vs Southampton as it happened - final score, goals, highlights and reaction

Alisson Becker - 7

Good saves to deny Broja and Armstrong at either end of first half.

Trent Alexander-Arnold - 7

Sold Konate short with throw-in for Broja chance, but going forward provided plenty of ammunition.

Ibrahima Konate - 6

Some nervy moments – thanks in part to the swirling conditions – but earned a pat from Alisson for putting off Broja sufficiently when the Southampton man was clear.

Virgil van Dijk - 7

Marshalled the back line with authority and mopped up whenever required. Dealt with conditions well.

Andy Robertson - 9

Created the first with low cross and a constant threat down the left going forward, linking well with Mane and Jota.

Fabinho - 7

The usual combination of good positioning, intercepting and solid tackling from the Brazilian.

Thiago Alcantara - 8

Took some risks in possession but they paid off, helping find holes in between the Southampton lines. Drop of shoulder before striking his deflected goal was delicious.

Jordan Henderson - 8

Linked superbly with Salah in the build-up to the second and kept Liverpool pushing forward with his swift distribution.

Mohamed Salah - 7

Toyed with Salisu for most of the first half, close with one curler and assisted the second, but should have done better when clean through towards break.

Diogo Jota - 8

In the right place to tuck away twice before the break and could easily have had more with a bit more accuracy.

Sadio Mane - 8

Full of energy and vigour, played big part in the opener and marginal call saw header chalked off for offside.
