MC) Steven Gerrard – 7
Composed, clever performance in Liverpool’s midfield. He passed the ball well, but was more important in his defensive contribution – stopping Adam Lallana from playing in the second half. Slotted a late penalty in classy style, too.
MC) Jordan Henderson – 6
Should have sealed the points with a golden chance late on, but did everything expected of him in Liverpool’s midfield. He worked tirelessly, and will have impressed watching England boss Roy Hodgson.
MC) Joe Allen – 6
Neat and tidy, if a little uninspiring from the little Welshman. He did help Liverpool kill the game late on though by slowing down the tempo and keeping the ball.
