Liverpool player ratings vs Manchester City as Reds fall foul of Premier League cheats

Liverpool were comfortably beaten by Manchester City on Sunday in a game which could ultimately prove to be meaningless. The Reds went toe-to-toe with City when it was 11 against 11, but Ryan Gravenberch's incredibly soft sending off ruined the game.

Enzo Maresca's team then ran riot, scoring three unanswered goals to make a mockery of the Premier League 's guilty verdict against them. The game is undoubtedly in disrepute, making it difficult to score Liverpool players' efforts at Anfield.

But here's how we rated them on a strange afternoon. Jurgen Klopp was appointed as manager of Liverpool 11 years ago today!

What is your favourite memory from the German's time in charge and why? Ronald Araujo: 3 -Araujo has been really good recently, but this was a poor performance.

Picked up a needless early booking for dissent, and couldn't cope with either Antoine Semenyo or Jeremy Doku, who turned him over a couple of times. Jeremy Jacquet: 6 - Looked good in moments and was not at fault for any City goal.

Virgil van Dijk: 5 - Started well and pushed up high into midfield on occasion. Possibly could have got out to Erling Haaland a little quicker for the opening goal.
