Liverpool player ratings after the 2-0 victory over Porto in the Champions League at Anfield
Alisson Becker 6
Distribution on point first half, if occasionally less so after the break.
Neco Williams 7
Struggled with positioning early on but began to show some signs of understanding with Salah and much better after break.
Joel Matip 6
Composed enough defensively and one header saved from corner. Wasn’t massively troubled in second half.
Ibrahima Konate 5
Appeared nervy and massively off the pace, if slightly more composed after break. Should have done better with free header at corner. Booked.
Kostas Tsimikas 6
Some moments of slack distribution and defending but did well to put off Otavio for Porto’s missed sitter with game goalless. Subbed.
Tyler Morton 7
Solicited cheers with a few good passes and wasn’t afraid to get stuck in when required. Didn’t look out of place in midfield. Good ball over top helped set up second goal.
Thiago Alcantara 8
Looked to get Liverpool moving with impressive passing range and absolute blistering strike for the opener. Another good outing. Subbed.
Jordan Henderson (for Thiago 63) 7
Set up the second for Salah and sent free-kick narrowly wide.
Andy Robertson (for Tsimikas 63) 7
One trademark lung-busting run was evidence of a man keen to impress.
Divock Origi (for Mane 71) 7
Lively cameo from the Belgian.
Fabinho (for Salah 71) 6
Kept things simple in midfield.
James Milner (for Oxlade-Chamberlain 82)
On long enough to pick up a booking that rules him out of the final group game at AC Milan. Canny.
