Gini Wijnaldum – It was a tidy display from the Dutchman, without ever being spectacular. His pass success rate of 87% shows that he was reliable in possession, while he caused problems when running at the West Brom defence. 7

Lucas Leiva – The Brazilian may not be part of Jurgen Klopp’s long-term plans, but he has done very well since stepping into the midfield during recent weeks. He got the assist for the goal today and his experience was vital in holding out for the victory. 7

Emre Can – It was a dominant aerial performance from the German as he won six aerial duels. Moreover, he completed six ball recoveries. He was crucial to the defensive set-up of the side and ensured that his team kept a clean sheet. 8

Roberto Firmino – It was great movement from the Brazilian that led to the winning goal and he caused issues for the West Brom defence all afternoon. He completed a match-high five dribbles and was the main attacking threat for the visitors. 9
