DM) Joe Allen – 8/10
Believe it or not – Joe Allen outplayed Yaya Toure. Passed well, intercepted possession, and ran the game. A real breakthrough game for Allen, despite the fact he arrived three years ago.
CM) Jordan Henderson – 7/10
A stunning strike from Henderson set the Reds on their way to victory – if the midfielder can continue to add moments of magic such as today in his performances, Liverpool may well have a ready made replacement for Steven Gerrard.
RM) Lazar Markovic – 6/10 (Sturridge – 76′)
Played out of position in a wing-back role, yet adapted well, contributing often to the Liverpool attack.
Improved second-half.
LM) Alberto Moreno – 6/10 (Toure – 83′)
Coped with the attack-minded Pablo Zabaleta expertly, and was a threat going forward.
