Rayan Ait-Nouri - 4: On for Podence for the final 19 minutes. Managed to fire in a shot at the Liverpool goal.
Vitinha – 4: The Portuguese entered the fray in the 81st minute and was unable to change the flow of the game in any way. PA
LIVERPOOL RATINGS: Caoimhin Kelleher – 8: The 22-year-old made an important save from Podence’s chip in the first half and was sure-handed against the aerial threat. The Irishman has had a wonderful week. PA
Neco Williams – 7: Unaffected by a second-minute yellow card that could have destabilised the 19-year-old. Replaced by Alexander-Arnold with 22 minutes to go. Reuters
Joel Matip – 8: Good in the air and ensured Williams always had support. The German grows in stature every game. Relished scoring into the Kop goal. AP
Fabinho - 7: The Brazilian’s partnership with Matip continues to develop. Sat down by Traore in the first half but it was a rare lapse. Reuters
Andy Robertson - 7: The Scot was troubled early by Traore but battled well. Was more dangerous going forward in the second period when Wolves began to tire. Getty
Jordan Henderson - 8: The captain worked diligently to protect the defence while controlling the tempo in midfield. Substituted for Keita with nine minutes left. Reuters
Georginio Wijnaldum - 9: The Dutchman showed his full range of abilities. Covered lots of ground in midfield and scored a splendid goal to show how dangerous he can be going forward. AP
Curtis Jones - 7: The 19-year-old used the ball cleverly and showed a mature approach tactically. Does not waste the ball very often. PA
Mohamed Salah – 8: The opening goal illustrated how much fear the Egyptian instils in defenders. Great cross for Matip’s goal, too. AP
Roberto Firmino – 7: The Brazilian’s confidence is returning. The forward ran through his repertoire of nutmegs and scissor kicks. Withdrawn for Jota in the 73rd minute after an entertaining display. Getty
Sadio Mane – 8: Another lively effort from the Senegalese. Semedo will quake with fear at the thought of the reverse fixture. EPA
SUBS: Trent Alexander-Arnold – 7: Replaced Williams in the 68th minute and slotted back with ease after returning from injury. His teasing cross forced Semedo into scoring an own goal. Getty
Diogo Jota – 7: Given a run-out against his former club when Firmino was withdrawn with 17 minutes left. Produced a threatening cameo
Naby Keita – 6: The Guinean needs more playing time after a series of injuries. Came on for Henderson for the final nine minutes and eased into the action. EPA
WOLVES RATINGS: Rui Patricio - 5: The goalkeeper could do little to stop the Liverpool onslaught. Perhaps he could have done more to cut out the cross before the fourth goal. Getty
Nelson Semedo - 3: Will wake up shaking with fear at the thought of Mane. The own goal capped a woeful night for the right back. AP
Willy Boly - 4: The centre half was bamboozled by the movement of Liverpool’s front three. Never looked comfortable and always seemed a yard too slow. EPA
Conor Coady – 3: Dreadful night for the captain. The Scouser committed an awful error to gift the first goal to Salah. Tried to fool the referee to win a penalty with a preposterous dive. EPA
Marcal – 4: Unable to contain Firmino. Not the worst Wolves defender but that is faint praise after a poor performance. PA
Leandro Dendoncker – 4: Outrun and outplayed by the Liverpool midfield. The Belgian’s effort was as poor as his technique. Disappointing. EPA
Joao Moutinho – 5: Unable to influence the game despite working hard. The Portuguese showed for the ball but did little when in possession. Reuters
Ruben Neves – 4: Shrunk from the challenge. The midfielder was replaced by Fabio Silva in the 62nd minute after having little impact on the game. EPA
Adama Traore – 6: Put a bit of pressure on Robertson but faded as the match went on. Did not use his pace to its best effect. AP
Pedro Neto – 4: Saw little of the ball and never disturbed the Liverpool back four. Taken off for Vitinha with nine minutes left. Reuters
Daniel Podence – 5: The winger had his team’s best moment when he attempted to chip Kelleher. Fluttered around the periphery of the game. Replaced by Ait-Nouriat after 71 minutes. EPA
Fabio Silva – 4: Was on the pitch for 28 minutes when Neves was withdrawn. Anonymous and ineffective, albeit in difficult circumstances. AP
