See how Liverpool and Man United players fared in our player ratings
On a scale of 1-10, we rate the players after Liverpool’s 2-0 Europa League win over Manchester United tonight.
Simon Mignolet: The oft-derided Belgian may not have had much to deal with but was solid when called upon.
Nathaniel Clyne: Forced a second-half save from the inspired David de Gea and won the penalty which opened the scoring.
Mamadou Sakho: A growing presence at Anfield, producing a solid, dependable display at the heart of defence.
Dejan Lovren: Dealt manfully with United's sporadic attacks and rarely put a foot wrong.
Alberto Moreno: The left-back's marauding runs caused a headache, while his pace helped out defensively.
Jordan Henderson: Booked in just the second minute for a lunge, but showed impressive composure and maturity to keep driving the Reds on.
Emre Can: An imposing shield for the hosts' defence and able to thread threatening passes.
Adam Lallana: The England midfielder worked tirelessly, pressing with intensity and showing some wonderful skill in the build-up to the second goal.
Phillippe Coutinho: Showed flashes of his brilliance and had chance to put Jurgen Klopp's men out of sight.
Roberto Firmino: Clever flicks and impressive vision during a fine performance capped by Liverpool's second.
Daniel Sturridge: Unnerved United's defence and nervelessly slotted home an important first-half penalty.
Joe Allen (Sturridge, 64): An intelligent change as Liverpool looked to stop the visitors enjoying possession in midfield.
Divock Origi (Firmo, 84): The Belgian's pace helped keep the pressure up on the visitors in the latter stages.
David De Gea: Produced a string of wonderful saves either side of half-time. Without him, this would have been a mauling.
Guillermo Varela: Restored to starting line-up and endured a long night, with the defence stretched from the start.
Chris Smalling: Not the strongest display from one of United's men of the season. A bad night at the office.
Daley Blind: Endured a difficult time at centre-back alongside Smalling, but improved when moved to left wing-back after a half-time reshuffle.
Marcos Rojo: In the away end when United won at Anfield earlier in the season, he had an experience to forget on his return.
Marouane Fellaini: Back in the starting line-up and an irritant for the home side. Likely to face action for late elbow.
Morgan Schneiderlin: Restored to starting line-up and had his work cut out, especially in the first half.
Juan Mata: Captained the side in Wayne Rooney's absence and worked hard making much of an impression.
Marcus Rashford: Ineffective display on the right from the teenager star. Withdrawn at half-time.
Memphis Depay: Not only guilty of taking down Nathaniel Clyne for the first-half penalty but wasteful in possession.
Anthony Martial: Too often isolated, allowing Liverpool's defence to neutralise his threat.
Michael Carrick (Rashford, 45): Brought on as United switched to 3-5-2 formation and was culpable for Roberto Firmino's goal.
Bastian Schweinsteiger (Schneiderlin, 79): Surprise change having just returned from injury and did not have enough time to make an impact.
Ander Herrera (Mata, 79): The Spaniard's passing would have been a welcome boost earlier on.
