Virgil van Dijk - 7
The gloss was taken off a largely solid Liverpool defensive performance when Roma scored two late goals. Before that Van Dijk, like Lovren, and had barely put a foot wrong.
Andrew Robertson - 7
A quiet night by his own standards, the Scottish full-back was still very neat in possession and prepared to get forward at every opportunity.
Jordan Henderson - 7
He worked hard, won his tackles and picked up some second balls for his side, but Henderson wasn't particularly brilliant in possession. Ultimately it didn't matter and it's not like he's in the team for his ability on the ball anyway.
James Milner - 7.5
He set up Liverpool's fifth goal with a pinpoint corner to find Firmino, and he worked hard throughout. He won't be happy to have given away the penalty for Roma's second goal.

Alex Oxlade-Chamberlian - N/A
Started brightly but picked up a knee injury after 20 minutes and was forced off.
Mohamed Salah - 10
Salah scored two incredible goals in the first half, his 42nd and 43rd strikes of the season. The Egyptian is in the form of his life and was a constant threat, running in behind Roma's back three and cutting inside to link up with Roberto Firmino. Salah was the difference between the two teams, a world-class player at the peak of his powers, who turned provider after the break to set up Liverpool's third and fourth goals. Jurgen Klopp's side need to do everything they can to keep hold of him.

Sadio Mane - 7.5
He had a first half to forget, fluffing a couple of shots on goal. However, Mane kept getting into dangerous positions and managed to get on the scoresheet in the second half.
Roberto Firmino - 10
Firmino was brilliant again. The Brazilain created several chances with his clever play and bewitched Roma with his excellent close control. He was involved in both of Salah's goals and got the goals his display deserved in the second half, scoring twice. A fantastic footballer.
Subs
Georginio Wijnaldum -7
Tidy in possession and worked hard, helping Liverpool overrun Roma's midfield half-way through the opening period.
Danny Ings & Ragnar Klavan - Neither were on long enough to rate.Football
