Liverpool PLAYER RATINGS vs Fulham: Mane stars again but Salah was too greedy

  /  autty

Liverpool beat Fulham 2-1 at Craven Cottage thanks to a Sadio Mane strike and a late James Milner penalty.

Alisson Becker 6

Some good distribution in a quiet first half. Saved from Anguissa after break but was far too hesitant for the Fulham equaliser.

Trent Alexander-Arnold 7

Allowed to roam forward by Babel, deliveries improved first half and his diagonal pings were super-tasty. Less a threat going forward after the break.

Joel Matip 8

One or two issues with Mitrovic and the wind in the opening stages, but soon got to grips with matters and was impressive defensively.

Virgil van Dijk 6

Mitrovic soon moved on to Matip's shoulder first half, yet returned after the break. Underhit header for the equaliser proved he is human after all.

Andy Robertson 7

Played very advanced down the left and found some brilliant positions, but didn't always make the right choice. A regular outlet, which proved so useful second half.

Dominant in midfield early on, with his passing dictating play. Needed to be careful after a first-half booking, and was noticeably more cautious after the break.

Gini Wijnaldum 7

His hard work during the early quarter helped Liverpool win the arm wrestle. Tidy in possession, if a little too safe. So close to making it three late on.

Adam Lallana 7

Full of energy and put in some good tackles as well as lively runs. Tired a little after the break before being replaced.

Mohamed Salah 5

Didn't get much help from the referee and found Bryan a tough opponent. While a regular threat, tried too hard and was often greedy when in good positions. Missed chance for the third.

Roberto Firmino 6

Quiet until his assist for Mane's opener, after which the Brazilian became a pressing machine. More potential than end product in his attacking endeavours, however.

Sadio Mane 8

His burst down the left and composed finish completed a fine passing move for the opener. That's 11 in 11 for the Senegalese, and was fouled by Rico to win the deciding penalty.

James Milner (for Lallana 72) 7

His first contribution was a slice that prompted the equaliser. But showed nerves of steel to convert the winner from the spot.

Divock Origi (for Firmino 72) 7

Made a real difference with his willingness to work down the left flank, showing good strength.

Daniel Sturridge (for Salah 90+2)
