Salah 10, Clark 9: rating Liverpool players in Sparta demolition

Salah - 10

Scored in his first start since January 1, provided three assists. Too good for the Europa League level.

Clark - 9

Scored his first goal at the professional level, participated in each of the first three goals in the opening 10 minutes. Subbed off in the second half due to an injury concern.

Gakpo - 9

Ended a streak of imperfect-to-poor performances with a brace. The second goal with a backheel flick might be the pick of the bunch.

Szoboszlai - 8

Assisted Nunez's opening goal, scored at the start of the second half from a deflection.

Elliott - 8

Came on for the second half with a swagger. Might have registered a goal if Gakpo hadn't stolen it with a backheel flick.

The rest: Kelleher - 7, Bradley - 7, Gomez - 7, Quansah - 7, Robertson - 7, Endo - 7, Nunez - 7, Tsimikas - 7, McConnell - 7, Van Dijk - 7, Musialowski - 7
