Liverpool player ratings against Sevilla as shock star stands out

Andy Lonergan 8

A surprise starter, made a great first-half save to deny De Jong and his distribution was solid.

Trent Alexander-Arnold 7

Put in a great early cross that deserved a goal and delivered the corner for the equaliser.

Nat Phillips 6

A couple of decent defensive headers as Sevilla threatened with a succession of set-pieces. Played a part in the leveller.

Virgil van Dijk 6

One misplaced pass aside, unsure whether the Dutchman once broke sweat.

Andy Robertson 6

Primarily a case of building fitness and avoiding injury for the Scot.

Gini Wijnaldum 5

Lost the ball once to gift Sevilla an opportunity and appeared a bit off the pace.

Jordan Henderson 6

Showed energy and good reading of the game and kept distribution simple.

Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain 6

Started brightly but was on the receiving end of some reckless challenges, Carlos in particular.

Harry Wilson 5

Didn't quite happen for the Welshman, putting a free-kick into the wall and taking an elbow in the face from Banega.

Divock Origi 7

A lot brighter than against Dortmund, forced one save from Rico and thrashed home the equaliser.

Ben Woodburn 6

Promise in patches but too often on the periphery, although tried to forge a partnership with Robertson.

Simon Mignolet (for Lonergan 46) 6

Double save from Munir and Vazquez and had no chance with the winner.

Ki Jana Hoever (for Alexander-Arnold 46) 6

Good pace averted one Sevilla raid but, playing right-back, was caught out of position on occasion. Took a heavy one from Escudero.

Dejan Lovren (for Phillips 46) 7

One interception prevented a Sevilla opening and left El Haddadi on his backside with one fierce but fair challenge.

Joe Gomez (for Van Dijk 46) 7

Another quietly impressive display from the England man. Calm and strong.

Yasser Larouci (for Robertson 46) 7

Another encouraging display from the young left-back cut short by a disgraceful red-card challenge from Gnagnon. Liverpool will hope the injury is not serious.

Fabinho (for Wijnaldum 46) 6

Steady from the Brazilian, who paced himself through his stint.

James Milner (for Henderson 46) 7

Great block shortly after coming on and busy across the pitch.

Adam Lewis (for Oxlade-Chamberlain 46) 6

On the left of the midfield three, built confidence with a better display.

Curtis Jones (for Wilson 46) 6

Good interplay and forced a save from Vaclik with a near-post effort. Perhaps needs to back himself more by shooting.

Rhian Brewster (for Origi 46) 6

Appeared lively once more but perhaps a little over-enthusiastic in some of his tackling.

Ryan Kent (for Woodburn 46) 6

A couple of strong, direct runs instantly put the crowd onside but will have wanted to be more involved.

Bobby Duncan (for Larouci 80)

Pressed into action after Larouci's injury.
