Huddersfield Town 0-3 Liverpool: Player Ratings

Liverpool

Loris Karius - 7.5

Karius continues to strengthen his bid as Liverpool's first-choice goalkeeper with a clean sheet, characterized by a good save from Laurent Depoitre after 17 minutes.

Joe Gomez - 7

Gomez didn't have to be at his best against a struggling Huddersfield side, who looked short of ideas to expose Liverpool's defenders. Apart from early pressure from Lowe, the fullback dominated the flank, delivering a number of long balls over the Huddersfield defence.

Joel Matip - 7

Matip had a solid outing in defence after a recent poor run, keeping out crosses of any nature and neutralizing the threat presented by the duo of Mooy and Depoitre.

Dejan Lovren - 7.5

Lovren was excellent on Tuesday, organizing his back-line and showing the required aggression to shut out Huddersfield whenever they were on the offensive.

Andrew Robertson - 6.5

Robertson was sharp in defence, not giving Hadergjonaj and Mooy the room to approach the 18-yard box. His crosses, however, were over-hit and needs to be rectified if he is to rubberstamp his place at left-back ahead of Alberto Moreno.

Emre Can - 8

Can - who runs out of contract this summer - was a tireless prospect in midfield. He was seen shepherding the ball out of his defensive third as well as picking out passes in attack for Jurgen Klopp's side to carve out an opening against a resistant Terriers' back-five.

His strike from 25 yards to break the deadlock may have been fortunate as it was deflected in its journey past Lossl's goal, but he deserved the assist for winning the penalty after outdoing Billing for pace.

His industriousness in midfield was what allowed Liverpool to pile up the pressure and get the better of Huddersfield, something they missed during their surprise defeat to wooden-spoon holders Swansea last week.

Jordan Henderson - 7

Henderson pulled the strings together in midfield with a good range of passing and never allowed Mooy and Billing to get a stranglehold on the game.

James Milner - 7

Klopp went for experience in midfield in response to the Swansea defeat and got what he wanted from Milner - selflessness and hardwork in midfield, attributed by some eye-catching passes and long balls into the box.

Mohamed Salah - 7

It wasn't Salah's best night but he still scored a goal

It was not the brightest of nights for the runaway Egyptian, but he nonetheless capped a hard-working attacking display with a calmly slotted penalty to seal the points for Liverpool.

Roberto Firmino - 7.5

Firmino deserves credit for trying to get in behind the Terriers' wall on regular occasions to receive a pass and get a shy on goal. He was put through expertly by Mane in the build-up to the second goal, running the byline before slotting the ball through a pocket of space between Lossl's trailing leg and the near post. His work-ethic in a number nine role was commendable.

Sadio Mane - 7

Mane provided a clever assist for Firmino to double Liverpool's advantage in first-half stoppage time. However, he could have done better with the two headed opportunities he received thanks to well-judged lofted passes from Firmino in the second half, directing both of them wide.

Substitutes:

Alex-Oxlade Chamberlain, Georginio Wijnaldum and Dominic Solanke - N/A

All three were introduced very late in the game (83rd minute, 83rd minute, and 89th minute respectively) to run the clock down, and did just that, without making any significant contributions.
