"On Wednesday night, Liverpool bounced back from the Manchester City disappointment with a sturdy and quality 1-0 win at the Stadium of Light over a dangerous Sunderland. Virgil van Dijk's headed goal from a Mohamed Salah corner at the hour mark proved to be the difference on the day, but the Reds were the better side throughout. As the race for Champions League football continues, Liverpool got a huge three points away from home."
"Alisson Becker - 7/10 - A clean sheet and no penalty antics in this one for Ali. Not his busiest night of work, but he was confident when he needed to be, cutting out any aerial threats. Wataru Endo - 6.5/10 - Wata was rock solid as he stepped into the right-back role following injuries and suspension. He was calm and collected as we always see him. A brutal leg injury dampens the night."
"Andy Robertson - 6.5/10 - It was a solid, if not exciting, outing for Robbo on Wednesday. He no longer can bomb forward like he used to, so his impact is much more limited these days to defensive solidity and high work rate. Alexis Mac Allister - 7/10 - Macca was better in this one then what we've seen recently. He snapped into some tackles and was in the right spot defensively more than once. Kept the ball progressing fast as well. Solid night."
Liverpool secured a 1-0 win at Sunderland's Stadium of Light thanks to Virgil van Dijk's header from a Mohamed Salah corner around the hour mark.

Wataru Endo stepped into right-back effectively before suffering a brutal leg injury. Ibrahima Konate produced one of his best displays, dominating Brian Brobbey and making a key block. Van Dijk led vocally and scored the winner. Alexis Mac Allister and Andy Robertson offered solidity; Ryan Gravenberch had a quieter outing.
