Alisson Becker 5
Dropped one cross under pressure from Wood but saved Barnes follow-up. Safe handling otherwise but conceded the decisive penalty with his rush from the line.
Trent Alexander-Arnold 4
Plenty of ball, particularly in the second half, but far too often he chose the wrong cross and his shots weren’t that great either.
Joel Matip 7
One good interception before break and a lot of wondering when the assistant referee was going to put his flag up. Easily Liverpool’s best player. Booked.
Fabinho 6
Felt a late one from Barnes and then got caught up in a ruck with the Burnley clodhopper on the half-time whistle. Booked.
Andy Robertson 5
Plenty of work at both ends of the pitch during the first half but couldn’t contribute any quality of note as Liverpool ran out of ideas.
Gini Wijnaldum 5
A lot of work and some good challenges first half but unable to find real spark. Marginally better after that and one fine run created chance for Salah.
Thiago Alcantara 5
Caught by a late one from Barnes but passing under pressure was decent before break. Too deep to be an influence second half, though.
Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain 4
Had one shot but otherwise massively off the pace and barely involved. Struggling for sharpness after his lengthy injury lay-off. Subbed.

Xherdan Shaqiri 5
A couple of clever passes and one fine cross, but largely frustrated first half. Couldn’t find the key after the break. Subbed.
Sadio Mane 5
Took the fight to the Burnley defence but wasn’t able to fashion many openings. Frustrated as the rest of the Liverpool team.
Divock Origi 4
On the periphery in the opening quarter but signs of life before half-time. Should have done better than hitting underside of bar when clean through. Subbed.
Mohamed Salah (for Origi 57) 6
Denied by Pope moments after being introduced. Looked lively.
Roberto Firmino (for Oxlade-Chamberlain 57) 5
Went on up front to pressure the Burnley backline but missed a decent half-chance.
Takumi Minamino (for Shaqiri 84)
Hopeless task.
