Alisson Becker 7

Watched a couple of hopeful shots sail off target before the break and did what was required, which wasn’t much.

Jeremie Frimpong 7

Offered support to Ngumoha down the right with very little defending to do first half.

Ronald Araujo 7

Sent an early sighter wide before getting his bearings to emphatically head in the opener.

Jeremy Jacquet 7

Liverpool’s busiest defender during the opening stages but did well initiating attacks from deep.

Kostas Tsimikas 7

Captain for the first time, his corner created the first and much improved on recent showings, particularly with his attacking play.

Trey Nyoni 7

Making his full Champions League debut, didn’t appear out of place and always looked to play the ball forwards.

Ryan Gravenberch 7

Built on his display against Manchester City with another busy outing and so unlucky when shot hit inside of post.

Rio Ngumoha 8

Tormented the LASK defence down the right flank with his dribbling help prompting the second goal. Another fine display from the teenager.

Florian Wirtz 8

Far too good for this level of opponent, who didn’t know what to do with the German. Forced several saves and clever assist for Barcola.

Bradley Barcola 9

Looked dangerous every time he had the ball and a good finish for his first before excellent footwork to notch his second. This is why Liverpool paid the big bucks.

Lewis Koumas 8

Held the ball up well, made a number of good runs, unfortunate to have goal disallowed and great skill and awareness to tee up Barcola’s first.
