Diogo Jota 7/10
Scorer of Liverpool’s second goal, which he took superbly well after skipping past a couple of tired-looking defenders. AFP
Guillaume Restes 6/10
Endured one or two nervy moments, especially with the ball at his feet. However, the Toulouse goalkeeper dealt well with efforts at his goal - and was virtually helpless to prevent Liverpool’s two conShow more
Mikkel Desler 7/10
Started very slowly, getting bullied by Diaz in their early exchanges. However, the Danish wing-back was a revelation going forward, with his crosses into the Liverpool box causing mayhem. AP
Logan Costa 8/10
Toulouse’s best defender on the night. The 22-year-old put his body on the line and was especially dominant aerially. AP
Rasmus Nicolaisen 7/10
Composed at the back for the hosts, largely keeping Liverpool’s Cody Gakpo quiet. Getty
Moussa Diarra 7/10
Like his fellow wing-back, Diarra struggled early on defending against the tricky Ben Doak. Nevertheless, the Frenchman stuck to his task well and was positionally solid throughout. Getty
Gabriel Suazo 6/10
Was fairly isolated for Toulouse out wide, and was a tad wasteful in possession when he did venture into Liverpool’s half. Getty
Niklas Schmidt 6/10
While he may have lacked end product, the German certainly put in a shift. Having run himself into the ground, Schmidt was replaced early in the second half. AFP
Vincent Sierro 8/10
Toulouse’s’ engine, providing tenacity in the tackle, and creative guile in the final third. EPA
Cristian Casseres Jr 6/10
Screened the defensive line very well for much of the game. Unfortunately for the Venezuelan, he put the ball into his own net for Liverpool’s opener after turning his back at the wrong time. AFP
Aron Donnum 7/10
Scorer of Toulouse’s opener, which came after the forward forced a mistake from Kostas Tsimikas with some fine pressing. His finish may have taken a fortunate deflection, but he made his own luck. AFP
Thijs Dallinga 8/10
Arguably the man of the match, having led the line supremely well for the home side. He capped off a perfect night with a clinical goal in the second half – which all came from his delicate first toucShow more
Frank Magri 7/10
SUBS: Scorer of Toulouse’s third goal, slotting home coolly from close range minutes after his second-half introduction. Reuters
Warren Kamanzi 6/10
Pressed Liverpool’s midfielders well in the closing minutes as the visitors searched for a late equaliser; Cesar Gelabert : N/A – Replaced the superb Dallinga with a few minutes of play left. AFP
Caoimhin Kelleher 4/10
A disappointing night from the young Irishman, who looks to be low on confidence. While he couldn’t do much about the first two Toulouse goals, his distribution and commanding of the defence left muchShow more
Joe Gomez 5/10
Very nearly handed Liverpool an early lead, after hitting the crossbar from a header in the opening minutes. However, that was as good as things got for the Englishman, who got exposed in the second hShow more
Joel Matip 4/10
A dreadful outing from the towering defender, who looked well off the pace. Having been consistently bullied by Toulouse’s powerful forwards, tonight was certainly one to forget. Getty
Jarell Quansah 5/10
Had it not been for the hand of Alexis Mac Allister – and some slightly dubious refereeing – the England U20 international would have scored his first goal for the club – and handed his side a point. Show more
Kostas Tsimikas 3/10
The less said about this performance, the better. It was the Greek international’s first-half error that handed the hosts a 1-0 lead, a mistake that saw him unceremoniously hooked at the break. AP
Harvey Elliott 6/10
One of the few bright sparks for Liverpool, who gave his all from the first minute to the last. His final ball did often lack quality. Getty
Wataru Endo 4/10
Another of Liverpool’s players who looked off the boil. The Japanese midfielder gave away far too many fouls, and rightly picked up a yellow card for doing so in the first half. Getty
Alexis Mac Allister 5/10
Cost his side a point after his handball led to Quansah’s late equaliser being disallowed. It was another worryingly quiet display from the World Cup winner. AFP
Ben Doak 6/10
The livewire winger reinforced what we already know – that he has incredible pace and the ability to beat a man, but that the end product isn’t always there. Nevertheless, it’s an experience the 17-yeShow more
Cody Gakpo 5/10
Provided the free-kick inside the first few minutes from which Gomez hit the bar. For the remainder of the game, the Dutch forward was fairly anonymous. Getty
Luis Diaz 5/10
Not a vintage display from the 26-year-old, but then again, after the week he’s had, it seldom matters. Getty
Trent Alexander-Arnold 5/10
SUBS: Failed to inspire a Liverpool comeback after coming on for the second half. In fact, was arguably at fault for the home side’s third goal due to his poor positioning. Getty
Dominik Szoboszlai 5/10
An underwhelming – and uncharacteristic – second half cameo from the Hungarian, who was reduced to speculative long-range shots in the closing stages. EPA
Mohamed Salah 6/10
Instantly made Liverpool look more dangerous in the final third, but the Egyptian was strangely wasteful when he arrived in good positions. EPA
Darwin Nunez 6/10
Looked sharp after his late introduction, while he also gave the Toulouse defenders something to think about aerially. ReutersDiogo Jota 7/10
