Antonio Rudiger - 6: The German was one of the most dominant centre-backs in the league pre-lockdown. Has struggled to recapture that form since the restart. EPA

Reece James - 7: Showed Alexander-Arnold isn't the only English right-back who can deliver quality balls into the box. EPA

Mateo Kovacic - 6: Right to feel aggrieved after replays showed he won the ball in a tussle with Mane but was penalised for a foul. Alexander-Arnold banged in the free-kick and Chelsea were always chasing the game from that moment. AFP

Mason Mount - 5: Wasted two opportunities to supply Giroud in the first half from promising positions. Made way in the second half and Chelsea improved as a result. AFP

Willian - 6: The Brazilian had a quiet game by his standards and his usually assured touch deserted him when presented with a chance in the first half. PA

Christian Pulisic (on for Mount, 59') - 8: The American terrorised Liverpool's defence, assisting for Abraham's goal and then slamming home Chelsea's third. Could have had another soon after but finish was poor. Reuters

Callum Hudson-Odoi (on for Willian, 59) - 7: Another of the Chelsea troika introduced on the hour who made an impact, crossing for his fellow winger for Chelsea's third. Reuters
