The hosts took the lead in fine fashion in the ninth minute as Jota slalomed his way through some would-be tacklers, before tucking the ball home. Their lead lasted just seven minutes as Thijs Dallinga beat the offside trap and fired past goalkeeper Caoimhin Kelleher.Wataru Endo scored his first goal for the club since his summer move from Stuttgart as he powered in Trent Alexander-Arnold's inch-perfect delivery on the half-hour mark and four minutes later Darwin Nunez smashed in a third to put the Reds in control.Gravenberch got a deserved goal after Nunez' superb solo run after the hour mark and then substitute Mo Salah completed the route to make it 5-1 at the death as Liverpool, who have won all three of their Europa League matches, inched closer to the knockout stages of the competition.<script type="application/json" data-placement="fcplayer-semantic">{"type":"fcplayer-semantic","data":{"embedCode":"//cdn.fcp.codes/embed-code-template/embed-code-template.js#SEMANTIC_5704afb8-c10b-4ba5-9cb4-d7fb6098ef90"}}</script>GOAL rates Liverpool's players from Anfield...

Liverpool player ratings vs Toulouse: Endo gives Jurgen Klopp a selection headache as Ryan Gravenberch puts on a Europa League show for Reds

Premier League

Liverpool

Leicester

Ligue 1

Lens

Toulouse

Caoimhin Kelleher (6/10):Perhaps could have done better to keep out Dallinga's central strike and he was very fortunate that his poor pass out from the back wasn't punished by Toulouse's attack.Trent Alexander-Arnold (7/10):Kept Dallinga onside for Toulouse's goal but atoned for that by curling a sumptuous ball onto the head of Endo, who duly made it 2-1. The England man also made a great goal line clearance stop to deny Gabriel Suazo a virtual open goal.Joel Matip (6/10):Was part of a defence that was a bit too open at times and wasn't as assertive as he should have been at the back.Joe Gomez (6/10):Was guilty of being out of position for Toulouse's goal and didn't look particularly solid in defence. Improved a tad as the game went on, though.Luke Chambers (6/10):Was caught out for Toulouse's goal as he misread a forward pass and on other occasions, he lost possession a couple of times. Overall, however, the teenager looked competent enough on his first Liverpool start.

Goalkeeper & Defence

Curtis Jones (7/10):Drifted around the pitch nicely, before popping up in dangerous positions to stretch Toulouse's defence. Was unfortunate not to score on the night.Wataru Endo (8/10):Directed a pinpoint header into the corner to restore Liverpool's lead. The Japanese international showed his tenaciousness in midfield and was creative and tricky going forward, too.Ryan Gravenberch (8/10):Looked very lively in midfield as he caused the French side problems with his trickery, driving runs, and neat touches. He and Endo ran the show, plus he took his goal well.

Midfield

Harvey Elliott (6/10):Was the least effective of the front three and was fairly anonymous for much of the contest. Finished the game strongly, though. Darwin Nunez (7/10):Showed quick feet in dangerous areas and took his goal in emphatic style. Arguably could have had a couple of goals. Nearly scored a brilliant solo goal but could only hit the post, before Gravenberch duly converted. Diogo Jota (7/10):Waltzed through Toulouse's defence like it wasn't there, before striking into the corner with aplomb. Put in the hard yards for his team, too.

Attack

Cody Gakpo (N/A):Didn't have much of the ball when he came on.Calum Scanlon (6/10):The 18-year-old had the honour of making his first-team debut but made a mistake when he came on that nearly cost his teamJarell Quansah (N/A):Was barely involved after coming off the bench.Mohamed Salah (7/10):Took his goal in fine fashion with an emphatic finish in second-half stoppage time.Jurgen Klopp (7/10):Made eight changes to the side that beat Everton at the weekend but they still looked like a cohesive unit. There is good competition for places, especially in midfield, and matches like these are very worthwhile outings. The substitutes weren't hugely effective, bar Salah, but they didn't need to be.
