Dominated the game from there on in as he was Liverpool’s best player again.AttackMohamed Salah: 5 – Very much game of two halves for Salah. Redeemed himself somewhat with a superb assist for Hugo Ekitike, before bending home a classic finish from outside the box for his 50th Champions League goal.Hugo Ekitike: 5 – Kept getting into good positions in the first-half, but made so many poor decisions when on the ball.

Far too slow in possession, which led to him being caught for a Galatasaray break early in the second-half, but did well to get the crucial second goal of the night. Missed a huge chance at 1-1 with the goal gaping, but did improve and laid on Salah’s goal with a lovely backheel.
