Burnley vs Liverpool Player Ratings and Stats

He may not be in the Liverpool team to score goals, but Thiago Alcantara seems to have hit a new level since marking his first for the club against Southampton.

The Spaniard made more successful passes than any other player on the pitch (79) as the visitors controlled things and regained possession on six occasions with smart positioning.

After a slow start, Thiago is truly starting to shine on both sides of the ball.

Up until this game, Will Norris' Premier League career amounted to a single appearance as an injury-time substitute for Wolves.

After completing his full debut, the Englishman will feel he could have done so much better with Roberto Firmino's opener, which wasn't a particularly powerful shot.

And he also didn't cover himself in glory in being beaten at his near post by Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain at the death.

Man of the match by some distance, Nat Phillips was everywhere for Liverpool.

Nine clearances (including one off the line), eight of 13 aerial duels won and a goal - some performance from a player who wasn't supposed to be anywhere near this team at the start of the season.
