What a very good performance, the best of the season for me. When they equalised I feared the worst, but that was really there only clear chance and we responded very well. The second half it did feel like a matter of time before we scored and that goal was worthy of winning any game.
Obviously Coutinho got all the plaudits with another exceptional performance, but I gave my MOTM to Allen, as I thought he was superb - not only tireless running, but he was very good on the ball. Possibly his best performance for us.
I thought Lovren actually defended pretty well for the most part and looked like a proper defender, and while his distribution was a bit hit and miss, I felt as though he was trying not to just hoof it out, but the hoof definitely has its place.
One of the most impressive things was that the average age of the starting 11 was less than 24. I think that at the moment when we get it right, our football is as impressive as it was last year. However the load is spread much more across the team.
