Alisson - 6

A welcome quiet afternoon for the Brazilian.

Joe Gomez - 7

Looked calm, got forward well, and was solidly dependable at right-back. Unselfish in finding Gakpo for the second goal.

Ibrahima Konate - 6

With recent form, looked to retain the no-nonsense approach throughout. Did fine.

Virgil van Dijk - 6

Always looking for diagonals to stretch West Ham. Like his defensive partner, a professional performance lacking in any risk.

Milos Kerkez - 5

Often wants to turn back rather than stretch play, and misplaced a few diagonals. Still feels like Liverpool's weak link but not terrible on Sunday.

Alexis Mac Allister - 6

Solid use of the ball, and strong in the tackle.

Ryan Gravenberch - 6

Was given attacking licence, marauding forward on a few occasions.

Dominik Szoboszlai - 6

Playing on the right, still got stuck in. Solid enough performance, but nothing spectacular.

Florian Wirtz - 8

One of his best performances in a Liverpool shirt. Ran the game throughout, finding gaps all over the pitch to connect defensive to midfield and midfield to attack. Should have scored in the first half with a low shot saved by Areola in the area, but slipped the ball in for Gakpo to set Isak up for his goal. Promising.

Alexander Isak - 7

Not a sterling performance, but got his goal. Was unlucky, doing everything right, before seeing a swivel-shot superbly saved by Areola in the first half, but his finish for the goal was absolutely clinical. A long, long way to proving he was worth the hassle and the money, but a step in the right direction before being subbed off three-quarters through.

Cody Gakpo - 7

Not great in the first half, predictable and not quite at it with the final ball, but set up Isak's goal nicely in the second half, and a nice finish to wrap up victory in stoppage time.
