Ben Doak (Thiago, 75”) - N/A. Linked well with Joe Gomez.

WOLVES RATINGS: Jose Sa 5 - Out of position for Harvey Elliott’s winner that flashed over him. Reuters
Jonny Otto 6 - Defended well for the most part against Harvey Elliott and tried to get forward.
AP
Toti Gomes 7 - Alert in second half and quick to react to the danger when chances developed.
Getty
Nathan Collins 7 - Outside of some poor moments in possession, defended well against Liverpool’s front three.
Getty
Dexter Lembikisa 6 - Started the game brightly but faded. Replaced at the break by Nelson Semedo.
Getty
Joseph Hodge 5 - Struggled to make much of an impact and wasn’t able to help link the play better. Brought off for Matheus Nunes at half-time.
Reuters
Ruben Neves 5 - Ruben Neves wasn’t at his best and was too slow on the ball. His best chance came from a set-piece, but was going over the bar despite a touch from the Liverpool goalkeeper.
Reuters
Rayan Ait-Nouri 6 - Looked dangerous and always tried to make things happen with direct running, but could have been helped more by his teammates.
Getty
Joao Moutinho 5 - Looked to play higher in the second half to support Raul Jimenez, but was inconsistent with his decision making.
Getty
Adama Traore 5 - Enjoyed a bright opening five minutes but quietened down until the end. Final ball was poor when he did get space to put a delivery into the box.
AFP
Raul Jimenez 5 - Didn’t make enough runs for his team, and was often drawn out wide rather than holding his position centrally. Should have done better with his header late on before he gave Joe Gomez the chance to intervene.
Getty
SUBS: Nelson Semedo (Limbikisa, 45) 6 - Looked dangerous and linked well with Adama Traore down the right-flank. Final ball could have been better.
EPA
Matheus Nunes (Hodge, 45) - Aggressive in challenge and won the ball back in promising areas.
PA
Matheus Cunha (Otto, 64) 6 - Smashed an effort over the bar when inside the box late on. Provide an injection of energy into the side. Daniel Podence (Moutinho, 64) 5 - Didn’t trouble Joe Gomez.

Diego Costa (Jimenez, 84) - On for the final minutes but didn’t get a chance to make his mark. EPA
LIVERPOOL RATINGS: Caoimhin Kelleher 6 - Didn’t have much to do with his side defending well, though he did get a fingertip to a dangerous free-kick from Ruben Neves.
EPA
Kostas Tsimkas 6 - Endured a tough battle against Adama Traore but proved his worth. Got forward when the opportunity presented itself.
Reuters
Ibrahima Konate 7 - Won his duels and kept Raul Jimenez quiet.
Reuters
Joe Gomez 7 - An excellent display from Joe Gomez and equally as good when switched to right-back.
Getty
James Milner 6 - Worked hard on the right-flank when creating options, and also defended well.
Getty
Stefan Bajcetic 8 - What a great performance from the 18-year-old. Put down a real marker for the future.
PA
Thiago 8 - Involved in all of Liverpool’s best moments and contributed across the pitch. The orchestrator of the midfield.
AP
Naby Keita 7 - Pressed aggressively and made a number of important defensive interventions. A display that could see him start more frequently.
Action Images
Fabio Carvalho 6 - Kept the ball well and transitioned it forwards. Had the ball in the back of the net but was clearly offside.
AP
Cody Gakpo 6 - A promising display in which the Netherlands international held the ball up well and was difficult to pick up. Sometimes could have passed instead of shooting.
AP
Harvey Elliott 8 - His goal proved to be the difference. A wonderful strike.
EPA
SUBS: Mohamed Salah (Gakpo, 65) 6 - Led the line well, but didn’t get any opportunities.
Reuters
Curtis Jones (Carvalho, 66) 6 - Had a chance late on but struck it across the goal and off-target. Kept things simple in possession.
PA
Nat Phillips (Milner, 66”) 6 - Positioned himself well. Unlucky to give away a dangerous free-kick with little contact on Matheus Cunha.
