Sevilla<\/strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Sergio Rico<\/strong> \u2013 6<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Made some good reactive saves, however, should have come out for Liverpool\u2019s third goal.<\/p>\n

Gabriel Mercado \u2013 5<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Had a fair amount of success on the left side producing decent crosses, especially in the second-half when Moreno and Mane were struggling.<\/p>\n

Johannes Geis \u2013 6<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Struggled to deal with Liverpool early on but got more comfortable as the game went on \u2013 always looked to play the forward pass.<\/p>\n

Clement Lenglet \u2013 6<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Was left in knots by Liverpool\u2019s thunderous start, however, he did recover and appeared much more solid in the second-half.<\/p>\n

Sergio Escudero \u2013 5<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Worked tirelessly as ever at full-back but found it difficult to get the better of Gomez.<\/p>\n

Steven N\u2019Zonzi \u2013 4<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Misplaced a number of passes and was too slow on the ball, not the N\u2019Zonzi the Sevillistas<\/em> have become accustomed to \u2013 was substituted at half-time.<\/p>\n

Ever Banega \u2013 8<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Directed much of Sevilla\u2019s play and produced a fantastic cross from a set-piece for Ben Yedder\u2019s headed goal.<\/p>\n

Guido Pizzarro \u2013 7<\/strong><\/h3>\n

The Sevilla hero \u2013 was the fastest to react to a corner-kick in stoppage time to fire past Karius for Sevilla\u2019s equaliser.<\/p>\n

Pablo Sarabria \u2013 6<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Was direct and powerful with his forward runs \u2013 looked comfortable on the ball and played a number of delicate passes.<\/p>\n

Nolito \u2013 6<\/strong><\/h3>\n

On the periphery for much of the match but did have one major goalscoring chance in the first-half.<\/p>\n

Wissam Ben Yedder \u2013 7<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Scored with a superb header and a re-taken penalty to get Sevilla back into the match \u2013 Sevilla\u2019s most potent attacking player.<\/p>\n

Liverpool<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Loris Karius \u2013 6<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Made a fantastic save to deny Nolito when the score was still 0-1 and commanded his area well \u2013 could have done more to stop Sevilla\u2019s second.<\/p>\n

Joe Gomez \u2013 6<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Had a solid game on the right \u2013 didn\u2019t attack too much but his sound defensive performance forced Sevilla to mainly put pressure on the left side.<\/p>\n

Dejan Lovren \u2013 6<\/strong><\/h3>\n

After a quiet first-half, he was called into action early in the second-half and produced a wonderful tackle \u2013 was left exposed by his midfielders.<\/p>\n

Ragnar Klavan \u2013 6<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Was once again the leader of the backline and, like his central defensive partner, was left unprotected throughout the second-half<\/p>\n

Alberto Moreno \u2013 5<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Had a decent enough first-half but for the fifteen minutes he was on the pitch in the second-half he was a changed man \u2013 gave away the free-kick for Sevilla\u2019s first and the penalty for their second.<\/p>\n

Georginio Wijnaldum \u2013 6<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Was strong and central to Liverpool\u2019s dominance in the first-half but drifted away in the second \u2013 he and his midfield teammates must realise the role they play in Liverpool\u2019s defensive setup.<\/p>\n

Jordan Henderson \u2013 5<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Gave away possession from which Sevilla almost scored but pressed well in the first-half, however, disappeared in the second and barely touched the ball.<\/p>\n

Philippe Coutinho \u2013\u00a06<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Showed glimpses of his talent but even in the first-half he was fairly muted \u2013 substituted on the hour-mark.<\/p>\n

Sadio Mane \u2013 5<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Scored a header to double Liverpool\u2019s lead halfway through the first-half with the same corner routine as the opener \u2013 however, he appeared off the pace and disappointed with his lacklustre defensive display.<\/p>\n

Roberto Firmino \u2013 7<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Scored in the opening moments with a well-taken finish at the back post and got his second of the night with a simple tap-in \u2013 Liverpool\u2019s best attacker.<\/p>\n

Mohamed Salah \u2013 6<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Couldn\u2019t continue his fine goalscoring run but was, nevertheless, a threat in attack even if chances were few and far between.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
