Alisson Becker 7
Saw plenty of ball at his feet before the break with only one or two nervy moments. Fine save after break from Nkunku.
Trent Alexander-Arnold 8
Made some good defensive interceptions and rarely wasted a pass going forward. Good imagination when in possession.
Ozan Kabak 7
Solid enough and showed greater concentration second half after one or two slack passes before the interval. Booked.
Jordan Henderson 9
Marshalled the backline superbly and turned the Leipzig defence with searching long passes. Booked.
Andy Robertson 8
Almost scored with superb effort from 45 yards, raided forward at the right time and no risks defensively.
Gini Wijnaldum 7
Found it difficult on occasion first half when Leipzig players swarmed around, but quietly efficient. Aided the defensive effort after break.
Thiago Alcantara 7
Much better from the Spaniard, whose willingness to put in the yards helped Liverpool dominate midfield. Good in possession. Subbed.
Curtis Jones 8
Grew into the game after a quiet start and confidently brought the ball forward, got stuck in and linked play. Worked hard, too.
Mohamed Salah 8
Denied by good Gulacsi save first half and always a threat when running in behind. Took his opening goal superbly and worked tirelessly. Subbed.
Roberto Firmino 7
Found plenty of space dropping deep, used ball well, hit side-netting and goal disallowed. Pressed with vigour. Subbed.
Sadio Mane 8
Headed one effort over and had a lot of joy up against Mukiele, ultimately forcing him into a mistake for the second.
Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain (for Thiago 72) 6
Almost made an instant impact with a dangerous cross but too often gave ball away.
Xherdan Shaqiri (for Firmino 72) 6
Worked hard to be involved.
Neco Williams (for Salah 90)
Minutes.
