Jay Rodriguez - 6. Replaced Wood in the 75th minute. He caused a few problems and Van Dijk had to be alert to his danger. Getty
LIVERPOOL RATINGS: Alisson Becker – 7. A composed performance from the Brazilian, who handled the aerial attack with ease. He dithered a bit and gave Tarkowski one chance but was otherwise in control. AFP
Trent Alexander-Arnold - 8. The 22-year-old set up the second goal with a wonderful touch and was a constant threat throughout. His relationship with Elliott bodes well for the future. Reuters
Joel Matip - 7. The centre back handled Burnley's physicality with aplomb. He was comfortable under pressure and calm on the ball. Reuters
Virgil van Dijk - 7. The Dutchman gives off an air of security. He went close with a shot from a corner and his long passing was superb – he started the move that led to the second goal. EPA
Kostas Tsimikas - 7. The Greek provided a lovely cross for Jota to open the scoring and matched the opposition’s brawn when needed. Substituted in stoppage time for Gomez. Reuters
Jordan Henderson - 7. The captain’s passing was precise and his positional awareness ensured danger was picked up early. A fine display on his first return to the side since February.
Naby Keita - 7. The 26-year-old does not have to be flashy to be effective. His passing, pressing and tackling were impressive. Replaced by Thiago with nine minutes left. AFP
Harvey Elliott - 8. The 18-year-old is a wonderful prospect. His magnificent pass to unpick the defence freed Salah to score but the striker had drifted offside. He linked beautifully with Alexander-Arnold, particularly on the second goal. The youngster had to deal with some rough treatment but was never put off. Getty
Mohamed Salah - 8. The Egyptian tested Pope with a shot from outside the box and caused panic whenever in possession. He sent in an excellent cross for Mane but the Senegalese missed the ball. Reuters
Diogo Jota - 7. The Portuguese made a brilliant run to find the space to open the scoring just at the time the home team were under pressure. He got involved in a physical battle with the defence and was withdrawn in the 81st minute when Firmino entered the game. PA
Sadio Mane - 7. The Senegalese was not quite on his game and he spurned a number of chances. He kept working, though, and was rewarded with the second goal. Getty
SUBS: Roberto Firmino - 6. Replaced Jota with nine minutes to go. The Brazilian made the most of his short stay on the pitch by showing his class. AFP
Joe Gomez - 6. Joined the action when Tsimikas limped off in stoppage time. It was a welcome return for the centre back in his first appearance since November. Reuters
Thiago Alcantara - 6. On for Keita in the 81st minute, the highlight of the 30-year-old’s cameo was a splendid run and pass. AFP
BURNLEY RATINGS: Nick Pope - 6. The 29-year-old had to be quick off his line to cut out an early opportunity for Salah and the goalkeeper made some good saves. He could do nothing about the goals. AFP
Matthew Lowton - 5. The full back kept tight on Mane and was solid at the back. His distribution was poor when in possession. Getty
James Tarkowski - 6. The 28-year-old rose to the challenge when tested in the air. He made some important interceptions as Liverpool piled on the pressure. Reuters
Ben Mee - 4. The Burnley captain lost Jota for the opening goal and should have been closer to Mane for the second. A disappointing performance. Getty
Charlie Taylor - 5. The left back had his hands full defensively against Salah, Alexander-Arnold and Elliott. He needed more help from the midfield. PA
Johann Berg Gudmundsson - 5. The Icelander was too involved with defensive duties to create much going forward. He was withdrawn for Pieters in the 79th minute. PA
Josh Brownhill - 5. The 25-year-old started well and took a rugged approach to Elliott but was worn down by the Liverpool midfield. He struggled later in the game. Getty
Jack Cork - 5. The midfielder produced some strong tackles and dropped in to help his defence but was increasingly over-run as the match went on. Reuters
Dwight McNeil - 7. The winger forced Alisson into a good save just after the opening goal and sent in a number of dangerous crosses. He made a brilliant last-gasp clearance in second half. PA
Chris Wood - 5. The striker had a near-post header saved by Alisson just before Liverpool’s opener. He was a handful for the defence in the first half but faded badly. Replaced by Rodriguez with 15 minutes left. PA
Ashley Barnes - 5. The 30-year-old had a goal ruled out for offside but should have shown more awareness when Burnley created a dangerous situation. He had a chance for a late consolation goal but was foiled by Alisson. Reuters
SUBS: Erik Pieters - 5. The Dutchman came on for Gudmundsson with 11 minutes to go. He was able to drive into the area but overran the ball and lost the opportunity. EPA
