DC) Martin Skrtel – 8/10
An absolutely superb performance from the powerful Slovakian. He regularly put his body on the line for the cause, making consistent last ditch tackles – which rendered Edin Dzeko virtually obsolete. He also rose fantastically to guide a cross into the corner of Joe Hart’s net for Liverpool’s second.
DC) Mamadou Sakho – 7/10
At times the Frenchman looks clumsy in possession, but in terms of sheer physical defending, he was very strong. He was perhaps lucky not to concede a penalty when he mistimed a tackle on Samir Nasri.
DL) Jon Flanagan – 7/10
Another big performance in a crucial match from Liverpool’s young fullback. The youngster kept Jesus Navas quiet, but actually had more trouble with James Milner when the Englishman came on.
