Alisson Becker 6
Rooted to the spot for Shelvey’s opener but good save denied Saint-Maximin. Spent second half watching.
Trent Alexander-Arnold 7
Relatively quiet first half with few opportunities to overlap given Newcastle’s deep defence but a little more space later on, and rocketed in the third.
Joel Matip 7
Few defensive issues first half but unable to push into midfield too often. Kept Newcastle away from Alisson
Ibrahima Konate 7
Tasked with marking the dangerous Saint-Maximin and stuck to his task, growing confidence in both his passing and physical capabilities.

Andy Robertson 6
Passing not always on point and, like Alexander-Arnold, opportunities to get byline limited before break before some more progressive play.
Jordan Henderson 8
Ostensibly the replacement for Fabinho in defensive midfield but often the player probing the Newcastle backline first half and solid after that. Booked.
Thiago Alcantara 6
Loose passes set up opener for Shelvey and almost a second for Saint-Maximin and not much threat with distribution going forward first half, but an awful lot better after break. Subbed.
Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain 6
Barely involved first quarter but signs of life with one thrusting run and then good ball over top for Salah. More involved after break. Subbed.

Mohamed Salah 7
Destroyed Lewis early on before the Newcastle man departed injured and on hand to knock in second but more wasteful in possession second half. Subbed.

Diogo Jota 7
Drew save from Dubravka and shot into side-netting before notching the equaliser at the second attempt. Thwarted late on by block on the line.
Sadio Mane 7
Dug out the cross for the leveller and had shot saved for Salah to score rebound. Denied by Dubravka second half.
Roberto Firmino (for Salah 74) 7
Welcome return for the Brazilian, who can claim an assist for Alexander-Arnold’s thunderbolt.
Naby Keita (for Oxlade-Chamberlain 74) 7
Fine cameo with one good pass releasing Mane and a shot saved.
James Milner (for Thiago 90)
Good evening, sir.
