Alisson Becker 6

No chance with either Chelsea goal and otherwise had very little to do until late save from Jadon Sancho as Liverpool dominated possession.

Trent Alexander-Arnold 6

Tried to get the Reds going forward with some probing passes.

Booked.

Virgil van Dijk 7

Used the ball well when passing out of defence and no real issues defensively before interval, but slightly panicked clearance gifted Chelsea second.

Booked.

Kostas Tsimikas 6

Opener came down his flank and a tough battle up against Pedro Neto but wasn’t embarrassed.

Subbed.

Wataru Endo 6

Asked to do a lot of the defensive work in midfield in the opening minutes but then given chance to use the ball more creatively.

More encouragement second half and cross created good chance for Darwin Nunez.

Harvey Elliott 5

Very slack opening set the tone for a difficult appearance in which he struggled to find an impactful position.

Subbed.

Conor Bradley (for Alexander-Arnold 58) 6

Injected pace down the Liverpool right but beaten by Palmer for one Chelsea chance.

Darwin Nunez (for Jota 58) 5

Should have scored when sending header wide from good position.

Dominik Szoboszlai (for Elliott 69) 6

A few decent balls as Liverpool looked to work a way back into the game, but slack pass prompted penalty.

Alexis Mac Allister (for Endo 69) 6

Delivered the corner from which Van Dijk scored.

Federico Chiesa (for Tsimikas 82)

Found it hard to step into an intense match
