Matchwinner. Salah has been widely criticised in recent weeks and suggestions that he's off-form have continued to intensify since the campaign began in August. It was an unspectacular performance from the Egyptian, who has certainly delivered better during his spell with the Reds, but a morale-boosting display nonetheless.

His goal was well-taken and neatly finished, tucked away beyond Jonas Lössl's best attempts, while he showed some encouraging signs of link-up play and intelligent attacking movement that we're used to seeing from Liverpool's fan favourite.

His decision-making is still equally erratic at times, evidenced by the fact he was dispossessed and had more unsuccessful touches (eight combined) than anyone else on the pitch here - but the travelling fans will not mind. After all, his strike sealed three points in a frustrating away fixture.

Usually he would have earned top spot here too, but one player stood out even more..
