Liverpool player ratings as Ryan Gravenberch superb and seven more good in Union Saint-Gilloise win
Liverpool continued their perfect start to the Europa League campaign with a 2-0 win over Union Saint-Gilloise on Thursday,
The Reds were far from their best at Anfield, although goals from Ryan Gravenberch and Diogo Jota were enough to see Jurgen Klopp's side overcome the stubborn Belgian outfit.
It was an ideal response after Saturday's VAR controversy at Tottenham Hotspur. Next up for the Reds is a tricky trip to Brighton & Hove Albion in the Premier League on Sunday.
Ian Doyle was in attendance to rate the Reds players on the night.
Alisson 7
Took a Tsimikas pass on his chest and volleyed clear first half, but otherwise unemployed apart from some grabs at corners until fine save in last minute from Amoura.

Trent Alexander-Arnold 7
Sought to switch the play whenever possible with crossfield passes and defended intently. Ambitious shot prompted the opener. Subbed.
Ibrahima Konate 7
Kept things simple with Union rarely troubling the Liverpool backline first half. Good battle with the powerful Nilsson, and busier as visitors pressed in final quarter.
Jarell Quansah 7
A couple of wayward passes in an otherwise solid showing before break, and had to stand strong second half as Union began to probe.
Kostas Tsimikas 6
Regularly offered himself on the overlap and delivery from set-pieces caused Union issues first half. More subdued after break.
Wataru Endo 7
Imposed himself early on with some snappy challenges and neat passing at close quarters. Subbed.
Harvey Elliott 6
Busy enough showing on the right side of midfield but lost the ball a bit easily on occasion. Good engine
