Gakpo capped off a sparkling display with a rifled shot in second-half stoppage time to make it 4-0 as Jurgen Klopp’s men advanced to the knockout stages of the Europa League.

GOAL rates Liverpool’s players from Anfield…

Goalkeeper & Defence

Caoimhin Kelleher (7/10):

Made a couple of excellent stops on the few occasions he was called upon. Impressed in the absence of the injured Alisson.

Joe Gomez (7/10):

Put in a lovely cross for Liverpool’s opener and was solid in attack. Moved into the centre of defence in the second half after starting at right-back was rarely troubled.

Ibrahima Konate (6/10):

Was troubled a couple of times by the pacey Moses Usor and didn’t look all that comfortable at keeping him under wraps.

Jarell Quansah (6/10):

Like Konate, was caught out on occasion by Usor and his positioning was questionable but the 20-year-old was competent enough at the back in a rare start.

Kostas Tsimikas (7/10):

Fired in some dangerous crosses into the box and was unlucky not to score a stunning strike, only for his piledriver to crash off the crossbar.

Midfield

Ryan Gravenberch (6/10):

Wasn’t quite at his fluent, free-flowing best but he didn’t need to be as Liverpool won the midfield battle.

Wataru Endo (7/10):

Was a bit sloppy early on but grew into the contest as it progressed. The pick of Liverpool’s midfielders.

Harvey Elliott (6/10):

Had a fairly quiet game but popped up every now and again with some neat touches and tidy interplay. Some of his passing was a bit errant, though.

Attack

Mohamed Salah (8/10):

LASK couldn’t deal with his pace and trickery all night and took his 199th goal for the club with a coolly taken penalty.

Cody Gakpo (8/10):

The Dutchman put in an industrious performance, full of quality and selflessness for the team, plus he deservedly got a goal for his troubles.

Luis Diaz (8/10):

Continued his impressive recent form with an energetic and effective performance. Took his goal with aplomb and was a constant threat. The winger has been in remarkable form considering what he has been through in recent weeks and that may be needed with Diogo Jota’s injury.

Subs & Manager

Trent Alexander-Arnold (7/10):

Did his defensive duties well and got forward at every opportunity and got a nice assist for Gakpo’s second.

Darwin Nunez (7/10):

Caused chaos in the opposition’s defence but was unable to beat the keeper from a number of efforts.

Curtis Jones (7/10):

Got stuck in in midfield and created a number of chances in his cameo.

Conor Bradley (N/A):

No time to make an impact

Luke Chambers (N/A):

Came on late on in the contest.

Jurgen Klopp (7/10):

Rang the changes following the 1-1 draw with Manchester City at the weekend but the Reds still looked a cohesive unit. His substitutes were dangerous but couldn’t add to the total.
