James Milner - 5. Came on in stoppage time for Keita. He was a reassuring presence to see out the game. Reuters
BURNLEY RATINGS: Nick Pope - 6. The 29-year-old might have expected to be busier. He stopped most of what was thrown at him and was unlucky that when he blocked Fabinho’s first effort the rebound fell to the Brazilian’s feet. Getty
Connor Roberts - 6. The Welshman did well against the dual threat of Mane and Robertson. He was also effective against Jota when the Portuguese came on. Getty
James Tarkowski - 6. The 29-year-old was strong in the air and looked to play the ball long to start his side’s attacks. The conditions suited his style of play. PA
Ben Mee - 4. The 32-year-old let Mane get goal side of him for the decisive corner and then lost the striker completely. Almost put a late clearance into his own net. PA
Erik Pieters - 7. The Dutchman made Salah’s life difficult and looked to advance forward whenever the opportunity arose. His distribution was good. AFP
Aaron Lennon - 4. The 34-year-old was peripheral for most of the game. He was unable to trouble the Liverpool defence and his control was poor. AP
Ashley Westwood - 6. The 31-year-old scrapped in the midfield and used the ball well during Burnley’s better periods. He tried to spark his side’s counter-attacks. EPA
Josh Brownhill - 6. The 26-year-old was sharp in the tackle and refused to let Liverpool settle. He made a nuisance of himself in the midfield. EPA
Maxwell Cornet - 4. The Ivorian was offside too often. On the ball he showed a tendency to find blind alleys and surrender possession. Getty
Jay Rodriguez - 4. Spurned a splendid opportunity because his poor first touch let Allison save. He is a handful but the team need him to take his chances. Replaced by McNeil in the 62nd minute. Getty
Wout Weghorst - 4. The Dutchman was free on goal in the first half and produced an awful effort when trying to chip the goalkeeper. Minutes later he shot wide after running clear. He limped off injured in the 75th minute. AP
SUBS: Dwight McNeil - 6. The winger joined the action with 28 minutes left for Rodriguez. He provided more width and threat. PA
Ashley Barnes - 5. The 32-year-old entered the fray when Weghorst limped off in the 75th minute. He lacked the subtlety to change the course of the game. Getty
LIVERPOOL RATINGS: Alisson Becker - 8. The Brazilian was on fine form, denying Brownhill and Rodriguez and forcing Weghorst to misfire when in a good position. He was quick off his line and confident on the ball. AFP
Trent Alexander-Arnold - 6. The wind had an impact on the 23-year-old’s passing but he still created moments of danger. His corner led to Fabinho’s goal. AFP
Joel Matip - 6. The conditions made it difficult for defenders and the 30-year-old had moments of uncertainty. Clever positioning got him out of trouble and he was strong during Burnley’s late barrage. AP
Virgil van Dijk - 7. The Dutchman harnessed the defence with aplomb and sprung the offside trap frequently. He coped admirably with Burnley’s physical threat. AP
Andrew Robertson - 6. The Scot was eager to get forward but his distribution was not up to his normal levels. He was more restrained in the second half but never shirked the battle. Getty
Fabinho - 7. The Brazilian dug in and came out on top in the midfield scrap. He was first to many free balls in the central areas. His goal settled the match and came as a result of a committed run. EPA
Naby Keita - 7. The Guinean used the ball particularly well in the first half and forced Pope to make a diving save. He harried Burnley after the break and ran tirelessly until withdrawn for Milner in stoppage time. AP
Jordan Henderson - 4. The captain’s passing was wayward and his game was not helped when a moment of poor control in the first half led to him sustaining an injury. Replaced by Thiago in the 59th minute. Getty
Mohamed Salah - 5. The Egyptian tried to get into dangerous positions but things never quite worked for him. He was kept on a tight rein by the Burnley defence. Getty
Roberto Firmino - 4. The Brazilian could not impose himself on the game. His link play lacked its usual intelligence and his passing was imprecise. Getty
Sadio Mane - 7. The Senegalese caused the defence problems down the left and he got a crucial touch from a corner to set up the only goal. He made way for Jota in the 67th minute. PA
SUBS: Thiago Alcantara - 6. Replaced Henderson in the 59th minute. He was calm in possession but his forward passing was too ambitious. AP
Diogo Jota - 5. The Portuguese joined the action with 23 minutes to go at Mane’s expense. He had one chance but otherwise found it hard to make an impact. PA
