Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp should be happier with these three players than he is Dejan Lovren and others.

Mohamed Salah of Liverpool runs with the ball during the Premier League match between Tottenham Hotspur and Liverpool at Wembley Stadium on October 21, 2017 in London, England.

Yesterday was a day to forget for Liverpool as their defence crumbled in a 4-1 hammering by Tottenham Hotspur.

Jurgen Klopp told Sky Sports he could have done a better job on the pitch in his trainers.

But, amidst all the negativity, there were three positive performances from Reds players at Wembley…

Alberto Moreno

It says a lot about his teammates that the Spaniard is currently Liverpool’s most reliable defender.

He made an excellent covering tackle to thwart Son and was also confident going forward during Liverpool’s best period before half time.

Moreno has showed great character to improve his game after being out of the first team for much of last season.

Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain

The substitute took the game to Spurs with some powerful dribbling down the left flank.

He stood up a couple of good crosses too, although his end product still needs some improvement.

His best Premier League cameo for Liverpool might push him closer to a starting spot.

Mohamed Salah

The Egyptian scored his ninth goal of the season in all competitions to get Liverpool back into the game.

It was a scuffed finish with his right foot, but the out-to-in run into the box was outstanding.

His pace was a constant threat to Spurs despite Mauricio Pochettino going to great lengths to keep him quiet.
