Here are our player ratings after Liverpool made it back to back wins on Monday as they saw Wolves off at Molineux. A very professional display.

Liverpool player ratings vs Wolves

Alisson – 6

One very questionable moment to begin with but he got away with it. Was his reliable self afterwards.

Trent Alexander-Arnold – 7

Created two chances, didn’t get dribbled once and was decent enough, all around. Not back at his best just yet but getting there.

Nat Phillips – 7

Another solid display. Phillips continues to impress and looks at home as a first-team player.

Ozan Kabak – 8

His best performance yet? Kabak looked comfortable both on and off the ball. More of this and Liverpool might just want him permanently.

Andy Robertson – 6

Didn’t offer the creativity that Alexander-Arnold did but handled Adama Traore well. No complaints from us.

Fabinho – 7

Not a standout performance or anything but Fabinho’s presence makes such a difference. Kept the midfield under control.

Thiago – 5

Not his finest game. Thiago only had a 79 per cent pass completion rate in the end – very low for him. Just one of those games where little came off.

Gini Wijnaldum – 6

Quiet from Wijnaldum. Not really anything to complain about but no much to shout about, either.

Mohamed Salah – 5

Unfortunate not to get a goal after a slight offside and did test the goalkeeper with a decent effort. But overall, not enough from Salah.

Diogo Jota – 9

Pressed really well, kept running and grabbed the all important goal. Exactly what Liverpool wanted from Jota and he delivered.

Sadio Mane – 5

Should have scored in the first-half but this was another game where nothing really came off for Mane. Much as with Salah, Jota’s winner takes the pressure off.

Subs

James Milner – 5

Didn’t offer much but the game slowed down considerably after he came on.

Naby Keita – 5

As above, really. The game lacked any real intensity for the final half hour.

Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain – 5

Klopp brought him on as a False 9 and he did okay. A faster pass to Salah and Oxlade-Chamberlain gets an assist. Hard to see how he plays this role once Roberto Firmino is back, however.
