Sadio Mane scored twice against Tottenham as Jurgen Klopp's Liverpool posted their first Premier League victory of 2017.
Simon Mignolet – Retained his place between the posts and fully justified the decision, his best moment a save from Son – 7.5
Nathaniel Clyne – Provided a willing outlet in an attacking sense; on the end of a nasty tackle from Harry Kane – 7
Joel Matip – His presence at the heart of Liverpool’s defence had been missed but he provided a calming influence – 7
Lucas – A dependable figure who always comes in and does what is asked of him; some crucial tackles, missed a great headed chance – 7
James Milner – Nothing flash or fancy, just a relentless appetite for work and showed his vast experience throughout – 7
Adam Lallana – Had been a doubt with an Achilles issue but absolutely no impact on a clever, industrious performance – 8
Jordan Henderson – Looked as if he had been injured early but captain barely put a foot wrong all evening – 8
Gini Wijnaldum – His work often goes unseen but the pass he slipped through for the opening goal showed what he is about – 8
Sadio Mane – Unstoppable in a jet-heeled first 45 minutes when he scored twice and might have ended up with four; the star man – 9
Roberto Firmino – He has appeared jaded in recent weeks but this was much more like it and he tormented Tottenham’s defence – 7.
