Alisson: Could do nothing to keep out Erling Haaland’s strike then beaten by a beauty from Jeremy Doku and some solid footwork from Rayan Cherki. 5

Ronald Araujo: Got a cheap yellow card early on and will be annoyed that the first two Man City goals came from his side. 5

Virgil van Dijk: Often pushed out of position to help Liverpool deal with getting outnumbered in midfield. Perhaps could have closed Haaland down quicker. 6

Jeremy Jacquet: Wasn’t a bad display from a young talent who is very impressive but this must have been a real eye-opener against a quality City attack. 6

Milos Kerkez: Battled well with Iliman Ndiaye and pushed up regularly but lacked quality in the final third. 5

Alexis Mac Allister: Grew into the game and put in a good shift but struggled once Liverpool went down to 10 men. 5

Ryan Gravenberch: Came in for the injured Dominik Szoboszlai and was Liverpool‘s best player until he got sent off for a second yellow card. Naive on his part. 6

Victor Munoz: Played with such a fearlessness and was an absolute nuisance for Man City, causing Nico O’Reilly all sorts of problems. 7

Florian Wirtz: Simply has got to do better, particularly in games of this magnitude. Was largely ineffective and made some poor decisions. 4

Bradley Barcola: Sharp on the ball and did his defensive duties but, like Wirtz, must to do more in the final third. 5

Lewis Koumas: Making his first Premier League start and the 21-year-old got stuck in from the outset in an energetic display that was loved by the Anfield crowd. 7

Max Verstappen took his second win in a row with victory from pole position at the Singapore Grand Prix.

The Dutchman also won the final sprint event of the campaign at Marina Bay and has moved up two places in the drivers’ standings from sixth to fourth.

Championship leader Kimi Antonelli finished third and has extended his title advantage over Mercedes team-mate George Russell, who was ninth, to 102 points.

Here are my ratings for how the drivers performed across the whole weekend in Singapore.

Max Verstappen – 10/10

Pretty much the definition of a perfect weekend. Pole and victory in both the sprint race and grand prix, and once George Russell crashed out of the sprint on Saturday there was barely a moment where Red Bull’s Verstappen looked like losing control of either race.

Charles Leclerc- 9/10

Consistently Verstappen’s closest challenger and took two podiums from the weekend. Third in the sprint followed by second in the grand prix was about as much as Ferrari could realistically have asked for.

Kimi Antonelli – 8.5/10

Another hugely mature weekend from Mercedes’ championship leader. Fourth in the sprint and fourth in qualifying before fighting his way on to the grand prix podium late on, despite dealing with brake concerns and flirting a little too often with track limits.

Lando Norris – 6.5/10

Sunday was solid enough, with fourth probably the maximum McLaren had on outright pace. But his collision with team-mate Oscar Piastri in the sprint cost both drivers heavily, and prevents this from being rated as a particularly strong weekend.

Oscar Piastri – 7/10

The victim rather than the instigator of McLaren’s sprint collision and recovered with a decent Sunday performance. A slow puncture forced an extra stop but he still chased down and passed Lewis Hamilton for fifth, although seventh in qualifying left him with plenty of work to do.

Lewis Hamilton – 7.5/10

His Saturday was excellent – a brilliant start helped turn sixth into second in the sprint before he qualified third for the main race. Ran in the podium places for much of Sunday too, but his decision to stay out on worn tyres backfired badly and eventually dropped him to sixth.

Liam Lawson – 8.5/10

A really impressive weekend for Racing Bulls’ Lawson. Fifth in the sprint, ninth on the grand prix grid and seventh on Sunday meant points in both races and another reminder of just how strong his recent form has become.

Nico Hulkenberg – 8/10

Another very useful weekend for Audi. Took points with seventh in the sprint, narrowly missed Q3 and then finished eighth in the grand prix, holding Russell behind late on in the process.

George Russell – 7/10

The pace deserved a much higher score. Fastest in practice, second in sprint qualifying and sensational off the line to take the sprint lead. However, throwing it into the wall at the end of lap one was a major mistake. Recovering from 19th on the grand prix grid to ninth was an excellent response from the Mercedes driver.

Isack Hadjar – 8/10

Almost everything that went wrong before Sunday was outside of his control. Mechanical trouble on his Red Bull ended his sprint and reliability problems meant he couldn’t set a qualifying time, so recovering from the pit lane to score a point was an excellent drive.

Three-weight world champion Wilfredo ‘Bazooka’ Gomez has died aged 69.

The Puerto Rican won the WBC super-bantamweight title, WBC featherweight belt and WBA super-featherweight crown during a career in which he was renowned as a heavy puncher.

Gomez fought in 48 fights and won 44, with 42 by virtue of knockout, and was inducted into the International Boxing Hall of Fame, external in 1995.

Former president of the sanctioning body the WBO Paco Valcarcel confirmed the passing of his compatriot.

“He passed away a few hours ago, the one to whom I owe having entered the great family of international boxing,” wrote Valcacel on social media on Saturday.

“Rest in peace, my eternal champion Wilfredo ‘Bazooka’ Gomez.”

Gomez’s best wins came against fellow greats Mexico’s Carlos Zarate, two-weight champion Lupe Pintor, domestic rival Juan Laporte and American Rocky Lockridge.

Zarate was his finest win, stopping the then 52-0 knockout specialist in five rounds in front of his home fans in San Juan to retain his WBC super-bantamweight title.
