RM: Lazar Markovic – 5
His replacement in the second half for Mario Balotelli summed up his afternoon.
Whilst he was disciplined in his positioning, he offered little of note going forward.
CM: Jordan Henderson – 7
Wore the armband in the absence of Gerrard and led by example, putting in a performance bristling with energy and drive. Provided the assist for Sturridge’s equaliser.
