Dominant display after break will do him power of good.Virgil van Dijk 7Read the game well to sniff out Inter danger early first half but lost Martinez for header before break.

Good block from same player second half.Andy Robertson 7Started well going forward but a little muted after being clobbered hard by Martinez until finding second wind after break.Ryan Gravenberch 8Travelled well with ball and switched on defensively as the deepest midfielder with two good interceptions first half. Shielded ball effectively on necessary occasions.Curtis Jones 7Forced a save from Sommer after one strong run and confident in possession.

Could have done more with second-half chance after winning possession. Booked.Florian Wirtz (for Isak 68) 8Instantly made difference with range of passing and intelligence on ball.Conor Bradley (for Gomez 68) 7Added attacking thrust down the right but should have scored with Sommer instead saving from close range.Ian DoyleIan Doyle has covered Liverpool for more than 25 years, following them across Europe in multiple Champions League and Europa League finals and as far afield as Thailand, Singapore, the United States, Hong Kong and Qatar, and has reported on the Reds winning every major honour.
