Read the full Liverpool player ratings below:
GK) Simon Mignolet – 8
Excellent save to deny Diego Costa after a wicked deflection ofF Martin Skrtel and also came out well to smother at the feet of the Spaniard. A totally commanding presence, an excellent performance. Could do nothing about the goal.
RCB) Emre Can – 7
Recovered from an early and ugly stamp from Costa to put in a decent performance at the back, which also included several powerful bursts forward.
