Liverpool player ratings vs Aston Villa as Mane brace sees Reds through | Football | Sport
Mohamed Salah 6
Cut a really frustrated figure for an hour, after missing a good chance in the first half and then having a goal ruled out in the second. Turned on the style then to help create Wijnaldum’s strike before ending his own mini drought with a wonderful finish.
SUBSTITUTES
Thiago (on for Henderson, 45) 8
It hardly seemed fair when the former Bayern Munich man emerged from the tunnel at half-time. Put in a really delightful cameo, sees passes that nobody else on the pitch does. Rattled the bar for good measure. Far too good.
Shaqiri (on for Jones, 62) 5
Struggled to have much impact with goals flying in to all but kill the tie shortly after coming on.
Firmino (on for Minamino, 62) 5
Wouldn’t have expected to be called upon but came off the bench and looked busy.
Origi (on for Mane, 74) N/A
Oxlade-Chamberlain (on for Salah, 74) N/A
