FC Porto 0-5 Liverpool: Player ratings

Liverpool

Liverpool put in a complete team performance

Loris Karius - 7/10

Firmly established as Liverpool's number 1, the German shot-stopper was calm and composed when he was called upon. He made a couple of routine saves and his distribution was very good last night

Trent Alexander-Arnold - 7/10

Still only 19, the young right-back grew after a tough opening 5 minutes to completely neutralise the threat of Brahimi. A very impressive and mature performance by the Liverpool right-back.

Virgil van Dijk - 8/10

The world's most expensive defender showed his class last night as he marshalled the defence excellently along with Lovren. The Netherlands international was solid throughout the night and played a couple of delightful passes as well.

Dejan Lovren - 8/10

Klopp decided to start with Lovren ahead of Matip last night and the move definitely paid off. The Croatian was in fine form last night and completely neutralised the threat of Tiquinho.

Andy Robertson - 7/10

The young left-back put in another solid performance for Liverpool as he ran tirelessly down the flanks. He was excellent defensively and worked hard throughout the match.

Jordan Henderson - 6/10

The Liverpool captain kept things simple throughout as he played some easy passes and kept the ball well. He did some extremely good defensive work in the first 20 minutes of the match.

Gini Wijnaldum - 8/10

Started the match off slowly, but once he got into his stride, he completely bossed the midfield for Liverpool. Wijnaldum made some very good runs into the box and he also set up Mane's first goal.

James Milner - 8/10

The unsung hero of last night, Milner almost put in a flawless performance, He barely made a mistake last night and his tunning curled shot cannoned off the post and allowed Salah to score the second goal of the night.

Mohamed Salah - 9/10

Salah just can't stop scoring

The Egyptian forward continued his stunning goalscoring form as he scored his 30th goal of this season last night. He showed excellent composure to grab his goal and worked incredibly hard off the ball as well. Definitely the signing of the season.

Roberto Firmino - 8/10

The Brazilian has really come into his own this season. Even though he had a relatively quiet game, Firmino managed to get a goal of his own. He also hounded and pressed the Porto defence throughout the night and caused them innumerable problems.

Sadio Mane - 9.5/10

Sadio Mane was on fire last night!

The Senegalese winger has struggled a bit recently, but he answered his critics in perfect style last night by grabbing a hattrick. Working hard throughout the night, Mane was always in the right position at the right time and his goals have almost ensured Liverpool's progress to the last 8.

Substitutes

Joel Matip - N/A

Came on for Jordan Henderson in the 75th minute. The big Cameroonian centre-back was hardly put under pressure by the tiring Porto attack.

Joe Gomez - N/A

Replaced the impressive Alexander-Arnold in the 79th minute. It was a run out to build and improve on his fitness.

Danny Ings - N/A

Although he only came on in the 80th minute, Ings looked sharp and willing and even grabbed an assist for Sadio Mane's third goal.
