MC) Steven Gerrard – 8/10
A captain’s performance of the highest order. A tearful Gerrard rallied his troops at the final whistle, knowing that four wins in their next four matches will guarantee them the title. During the match, Gerrard’s passing wasn’t at his best, but his tackles more than made up for it.
MC) Jordan Henderson – 6/10
Henderson’s performance will be remembered for his foolish red card in the final minutes of the game, that will see him banned for three matches. The Reds will undoubtedly miss his tireless work-rate in the middle.
MC) Coutinho – 9/10 (Moses, 89′)
The mercurial Brazilian capped off a sensational performance with a winning goal, finding the bottom corner after a Vincent Kompany blunder. Coutinho’s ability to run with the ball at speed, but also tick over possession by shifting the ball out of his feet when under pressure were both on show today.
