Richard Mennear gives his player ratings here:

Sunderland: (4-5-1)

Vito Mannone: Made a wonderful stop with his legs to deny Moreno 20 minutes in. Smart double save in the second half. Could do little about the goals...7

Billy Jones: Gave the ball away just before the break and almost cost his side. He then did the same after 70 minutes and Liverpool doubled their lead...5

Lamine Kone: Made several powerful headed clearances in the opening stages. Impressed again at the back under constant pressure. MOM.....7

John O'Shea (C): Made several key interventions in first half under intense pressure. Poor defending from the full backs cost Sunderland....6

Patrick van Aanholt: Dragged a shot wide early on and then did similar with a free-kick. Under the cosh from there on in. Caught out for Firmino's goal.....6

Jan Kirchhoff: Started were he left off against City and made some great interceptions. Gave the ball away too many times though. Subbed....6

Lee Cattermole: Covered a lot of ground but Sunderland were far too deep first half. Poor in possession, often furthest forward. Can dominated....5

Yann M'Vila: Similar to Cattermole. Black Cats' game plan was to soak up the pressure. Had one break forward and blasted high....5

Duncan Watmore: Was subbed after 25 minutes after falling heavily on his ankle. Had mainly defended before being subbed.......5

Wahbi Khazri: His attacking instincts were restricted given how little of the ball Sunderland had. Provided Defoe with an assist....6

Jermain Defoe: So isolated in the opening half, Sunderland were camped in their own half. Tough going again for Defoe yet he popped up with the equaliser...6

Subs:

Dame N'Doye (for Watmore, 25): Early sub for the injured Watmore, pushed wide right again. Booked. Didn't look comfortable on the wing.....5

Adam Johnson (for Kirchhoff, 66): Should have come on for Watmore. Made a big impact and scored from a free-kick with a fine effort...7
