Liverpool beat Brighton 2-0 at Anfield with Alexander Isak scoring the second goal, four minutes after Pascal Gross' own-goal gave the home side the lead.

Here's how I rated the players and how you rated the players.

What do BBC Sport's player ratings mean?

Alisson: Didn't have a save to make in the first half but was nearly punished when Yasin Ayari hit the post after his careless pass out from the back. Will be delighted with the clean sheet. 7

Ronald Araujo: Showed great strength in the build-up for the first goal and was solid again, defensively. Nearly scored too but his effort was saved. 7

Jeremy Jacquet: Another good performance. Composed on the ball and made some crucial blocks. 7

Virgil van Dijk: Back to his usual self after a relatively poor display midweek. Another clean sheet in the Premier League. 7

Milos Kerkez: Didn't have the best of games and had his work cut out against Diego Gomez but ultimately, part of a Liverpool backline that kept Brighton out. 6

Ryan Gravenberch: Solid work rate, particularly in a game where Liverpool had a lot less of the ball. 7

Alexis Mac Allister: Certainly one of Liverpool 's better players this season and bar some loose passes, this was another encouraging display from the Argentine. 7

Bradley Barcola: Did superbly to tee up Isak and was a handful all afternoon for Olivier Boscagli. Did everything but score. 8

Florian Wirtz: Played with such a confidence and unfortunate that his strike was an own-goal from Gross. Caused Brighton plenty of problems throughout. Went off shortly after receiving treatment. 8

Cody Gakpo: Constantly threatened, playing down his preferred left, and had two efforts saved. Unlucky not to get an assist too. 7

Alexander Isak: A simple finish but in the right place at the right time for his sixth Premier League goal in as many games. Still not at his best yet but with those numbers, Andoni Iraola will be delighted. 7

Nyoni (on 65, Wirtz): Solid challenge instantly after coming on and the teenager looks like he is improving every week. 7

Subs not used: Mamardashvili, Gomez, Endo, Chiesa, McConnell.

Bart Verbruggen: Made some good saves in the first half but was undone by the deflection for the first goal and had no chance for Isak's strike. 5

Ferdi Kadioglu: Forced off with an injury in the sixth minute. Was holding his hip as he came off. 5

Luka Vuskovic: Part of a back line that conceded in the league for the first time since 16 September, but the 19-year-old looked good on the ball. 6

Lewis Dunk: Like Vuskovic, battled well but the Brighton back line were punished by Liverpool 's ruthlessness. 5

Olivier Boscagli: Lost the ball for Liverpool 's second goal and struggled to deal with Barcola. Booked for a foul on Barcola just before half-time and replaced at the break. 4

Pascal Gross: Should have got an assist when he teed up Ayari but did not cover himself in glory when his clearance landed at Wirtz's feet and the subsequent strike deflected off Gross and ended up in the back of the net. 5

Chema Andres: Was good on the ball and tidy in possession but took a knock and was replaced early on in the second half. 6

Diego Gomez: Played a lovely through-ball to Gross for Ayari's chance and linked up really well with Joao Costinha. 7

Yasin Ayari: Missed a huge chance when the game was 0-0 and his side were punished shortly after, then hit the post with a good effort in the first half. 6

Maxim De Cuyper: Had a quiet first half and dropped into left-back for the second half after Jack Hinshelwood came on for Boscagli. 5

Charalampos Kostoulas: Got on the ball plenty and always offered an option but did not do enough to truly threaten Alisson. 6

Costinha (on 6, Kadioglu): Thrown in early on and linked well with Gomez going forward but struggled to contain Gakpo. 6

Hinshelwood (on 46, Boscagli): Did well after coming on but could not get Brighton back in the game. 6

Yalcouye (on 54, Andres): Did not get on the ball enough after coming on. 5

Subs not used: Steele, Hadjam, Rutter, David, Osman, O'Riley.
