Yours truly was on ratings duty for the ECHO and a clutch of Liverpool performances caught the eye.
Alisson Becker and Fabinho were the standouts, which each scoring 8.
Then came Thiago Alcantara, Xherdan Shaqiri, Sadio Mane, Jordan Henderson and Andy Robertson on 7.
It wasn't so good, though, for Roberto Firmino, who struggled to a 5.
