Everton
Jordan Pickford
Had to be sharp when Henderson flicked a cross in and denied Salah but some of his kicking was poor. 5
Séamus Coleman
Marauded forward but was busy trying to stem Liverpool flow. Brave block to deny Henderson. 6
Michael Keane
Back-header nearly let in Mané but was more solid in second half and superb tackle to deny Salah. 7
Kurt Zouma
Crashed into tackles and was a key part of the Everton rearguard that left Liverpool scoreless again. 7
Lucas Digne
Early error but then diligently helped to contain Salah, and a crucial intervention to stop Robertson cross. 7
Idrissa Gueye
Quiet start along with rest of Everton’s midfield but became more formidable in the second half. 7
Morgan Schneiderlin
Poor control allowed Salah the first clear opening and he offered little threat before going off. 5
Bernard
Flitted in and out and will be disappointed at failing to find teammates with rare chances to cross. 5
Gylfi Sigurdsson
His passing unlocked Liverpool, and there was also touch and trickery from game’s brightest performer. 8
Theo Walcott
Booked inside 10 minutes then picked up a sore head before a wild shot summed up his day. Booked. 5
Dominic Calvert-Lewin
Close to zero service for the No 9 in the first half, and it didn’t get much better for him after the break. 6
Subs Richarlison (for Walcott 59) 5, Cenk Tosun (for Calvert-Lewin 74) 5, André Gomes (for Schneiderlin, 76) 5
Liverpool
Alisson
Did not make a save in a first half Liverpool dominated but denied Calvert-Lewin well after the break. 6
Trent Alexander-Arnold
The right-back’s pace gave the visitors extra dimension but his contribution was not always precise. 5
Virgil van Dijk
Dutchman always looked assured and hit some sweeping passes forward to launch attacks. 7
Joël Matip
Less confident when Everton came at him than Van Dijk, but was willing in possession and fought hard. 6
Andy Robertson
Floated in a free-kick Van Dijk might have done better with. Booked during poorer second half. Booked. 5
Georginio Wijnaldum
The more advanced of Liverpool’s midfield trio looked to get in behind and did the ugly stuff well. 6
Jordan Henderson
Demanded the ball and, though clumsy at times, was Liverpool’s most prominent midfielder. 6
Fabinho
Bad pass nearly led to an Everton goal in second half; earlier defence-splitter had Salah racing in. Booked. 5
Mohamed Salah
Disappointing. Hit a curler at Pickford and should have beaten him when clear on two later occasions. 4
Divock Origi
Started because of Firmino’s foot problem but the Belgian struggled to make any impact. 4
Sadio Mané
Operated as centre-forward and was part of a fluid, speeding red-shirted attack but he was ineffective. 6
Subs James MiIner (for Wijnaldum 63) 5, Roberto Firmino (for Origi 63) 5, Adam Lallana (for Mané 84) 5
