A spirited performance from Burnley goalkeeper Nick Pope helped Burnley claim a point against Liverpool at Anfield.

The visitors opened the scoring through Scott Arfield, who slotted a crisp finish into the bottom corner of the net from 12 yards out.

Their lead was short-lived however, as Salah drilled home a low finish past Nick Pope to claim his third goal of the campaign.

The Reds pressed for a winner, but were unable to beat Premier League debutant Pope.

Our man David Maddock was at Anfield and he's dished out his player ratings...

Liverpool

Mignolet 6 - Had hardly any work to do, but yet again defensive mistake exposed him

Alexander-Arnold 6 - Played high up pitch and that left him a little vulnerable to long ball behind

Matip 7 - Composed as always, vastly under-rated defender who is side's most assured

Klavan 6 - Much maligned, but does better job that credit for, with the odd mistake too

Robertson 7 - Delivery from left was key Reds weapon and got forward at will to look good

Can 6 - Played in deep role and passing in behind visiting defence was most incisive

Milner returned to the starting line-up (

Milner 6 - Brought back to lend experience to shielding defence and it well by and large

Coutinho 7 - Buzzing from the start and some of his dribbling was worth admission alone

Salah 7 - Pushed on down the right and got the goal his attacking instinct deserved

Coutinho made his first Premier League appearance of the season (

Firmino 6 - Swapped easily with Sturridge and combined telepathically with Coutinho

Sturridge 6 - Looks as fit as done for long time and grew into this game with his movement

Subs:

Oxlade-Chamberlain 6 (Firmino 78)

Solanke 6 (Coutinho 79)

Pope 8 - MOTM. Tough place for full Premier League debut, but stood up brilliantly

Lowton 7 - Tough job picking Coutinho, but stuck to his task and was solid as usual

Tarkowski 7 - Looks increasingly assured at heart of defence and tough competitor

Mee 7 - Influential leader for side and was unlucky not to give them a win at the end

Ward 6 - Tough and energetic as always and found a little time to get up the flank

Gudmundsson 6 - Played very deep on right and did his defensive job with great tenacity

Defour 7 - Used all experience to control middle and wily in his possession as always

Cork 6 - Anchor in middle and often dropped deeper to form defensive shield

Brady 6 - Hardly saw his attacking qualities but did well in winning header for goal

Arfield 6 - Wonderfully composed finish from side's first attack and deserved his glory

Woods 6 - Used to exploit Liverpool weakness in air at back, performed task with vigour

Barnes6 (Gudmundsson 60)
