Ian Doyle with the Liverpool player ratings and scores from the Champions League clash at home to Villarreal on Tuesday evening

Liverpool produced yet another impressive comeback to maintain their 100% winning start to their Champions League programme with victory over Villarreal.

After George Mikautadze and Sergi Cardona had put the visitors in control before the half-hour mark, strikes from Alexis Mac Allister and Ronald Araujo drew the Reds level by the break before Mac Allister and substitute Florian Wirtz scored in the second half ahead of a Tanitoluwa Oluwaseyi consolation to secure a 4-3 win.

The result means Andoni Iraola's side have now earned three successive victories in all competitions for the first time under the new head coach.

The ECHO was in attendance at Anfield and here we run the rule over the performance of the Liverpool players...

Alisson Becker 6

Turned over Mourino shot towards half-time and no chance with two Villarreal goals before break and little to do second half until late visiting pressure.

Ronald Araujo 6

Lacked quality with deliveries into the box and didn’t look comfortable at right-back, but in correct place to head equaliser. Subbed.

Jeremy Jacquet 6

Not most convincing outing early on and struggled a little implementing an iffy offside trap but much more comfortable second half.

Virgil van Dijk 5

Already wayward before early mistake gifted Villarreal opener and seemed affected by that for much of the first half. Not his usual composed self.

Kostas Tsimikas 6

Erratic in the extreme first half but settled after corner delivery for first and involved in build-up to fourth goal.

Alexis Mac Allister 8

The one Liverpool player to appear determined from the first whistle, solid challenges, fine header for opener and struck one shot narrowly wide before initiating and finishing third goal.

Trey Nyoni 7

Neat touches early on but had some issues with intensity of game before ramping up his level. Excellent distribution and composure from the youngster. Subbed.

Rio Ngumoha 9

Dangerous runs offered encouragement opening quarter and persisted with great assist for the Liverpool second. Tormented Villarreal defence down right and brilliant work to set up third. Subbed.

Ryan Gravenberch 6

Playing in the number 10 role, difficult to recall any meaningful contribution before interval but much more prominent when moved to right-back.

Cody Gakpo 7

Tried to get Liverpool going down the left and his cross won corner from which Liverpool scored their first, and like so many better second half and assist for fourth.

Lewis Koumas 6

Asked to plough a lone furrow for far too long first half but kept the ball well and began to get a bit more service after half-time. Subbed.

SUBS

Florian Wirtz (for Araujo 46) 8

Excellent showing in the number 10 role, for which his well-taken strike was deserved reward. A player in form.

Alexander Isak (for Koumas 66) 6

Thumped one shot well off target in quiet cameo.

Bradley Barcola (for Ngumoha 74) 6

A couple of neat touches playing down the right flank.

Joe Gomez (for Jacquet 74) 6

Steady enough at centre-back after his introduction.

James McConnell (for Nyoni 81)

More Champions League minutes for the midfielder.
