Alisson Becker (6/10):
Barely had anything to do until Burnley's first shot on target. Will be disappointed that Edwards' shot squeezed underneath his dive.
Jeremie Frimpong (7/10):
Played very high up the pitch and even had an excellent chance to score in the second half.
Ibrahima Konate (6/10):
Didn't have much to do throughout, was a solid if uninspiring performance.
Virgil van Dijk (7/10):
Had little to do and was one of just two Liverpool players whose average position was in his own half.
Milos Kerkez (8/10):
Had an early chance to fire the Reds in front, his low cross was cleared off the line and away for a corner. Booked for an untidy lunge on Anthony. Subbed off with ten minutes to go.

Dominik Szoboszlai (6/10):
A strange afternoon as he played well, but smashed his penalty against the Burnley crossbar. He'll be glad to see the back of January following that mistake against Barnsley.
Ryan Gravenberch (6/10):
Saw lots of the ball in the middle of midfield, but became sloppy with his passing as the second half progressed and was subbed off for Mac Allister.
Curtis Jones (8/10):
An industrious afternoon and was at the heart of so much Liverpool did well. Provided the assist for Wirtz's goal.

Florian Wirtz (8/10):
Took his goal very well, showing once again the undoubted quality he has, but didn't do enough aside from that.
Cody Gakpo (6/10):
Was a lively presence on the left for Liverpool and was chief creator for the majority of the match. Had a couple of half-chances which went begging. Hooked off for Ngumoha with a few minutes left.
Hugo Ekitike (7/10):
Was a constant thorn in Burnley's side, but wasted a couple of golden opportunities, including an excellent header in the first half.

Andy Robertson (6/10):
Had very little to do when he came on. Enjoyed a few touches as Liverpool pressed for the winner.
Alex Mac Allister (6/10):
Brought on with only a handful of minutes remaining and wasted a golden chance when he fired high over the bar.
Rio Ngumoha (6/10):
A lively presence when he came on, but had too few chances to make an impact.
Federico Chiesa (N/A):
Brought on with only a few seconds remaining.
Arne Slot (5/10):
Another disappointing result. Another below-par performance at home, despite the missed penalty and a host of chances. He really should've made changes earlier in the match.
