Liverpool player ratings and scores after the UEFA Champions League clash with RB Leipzig in Germany
Liverpool made it three straight Champions League wins as they beat RB Leipzig 1-0 at the Red Bull Arena on Wednesday night.
Darwin Nunez nudged home the winning goal in the first half after Mohamed Salah had nodded Kostas Tsimikas's cross back across the face. The host had earlier seen a goal ruled out for offside. Next up for the Reds in Europe's premier competition is Xabi Alonso's Bayer Leverkusen at Anfield later this month.
The ECHO was at the Red Bull Arena to run the rule over proceedings. Here's how the players rated on the night.Second-half saves from Sesko and Simons were vital and looked like his usual confident self in possession. Liverpool are so fortunate to have a back-up goalkeeper of this quality.Started sloppily but grew into things. Passing range is always capable of opening teams up but he is defending more resolutely under Slot. Replaced for Gomez.Rock solid once more.
Important clearance late on was important and he tried to support Diaz when he could in an attacking sense.Tried to show his attacking qualities when possible but was instructed to see it the game.No real opportunity to build on Sunday's stunning performance against Chelsea. Helped out to keep Leipzig at bay.
