# Liverpool fans applaud ‘exceptional’ display from Alisson in EPL victory

[Liverpool](https://readliverpoolfc.com/2022/01/23/pundit-predicts-really-difficult-epl-contest-for-liverpool/) had goalkeeper [Alisson Becker](https://readliverpoolfc.com/2021/11/04/alisson-becker-believes-roberto-firmino-injury-is-nothing-serious/) to thank as the Reds capitalised on a slip from Manchester City.

Nothing less than a victory would suffice for Jurgen Klopp’s side after the previously runaway Premier League leaders [dropped points](https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/60005892) on Saturday night.

Despite making a fast start to proceedings at Selhurst Park, the Merseysiders were [heavily reliant](https://www.skysports.com/football/crystal-palace-vs-liverpool/report/446511) on the Brazilian stopper on numerous occasions.

Goals from Virgil van Dijk, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain and Fabinho ultimately earned the points, but fans on [social media](https://twitter.com/LiverpoolNicola/status/1485279513680429056) recognised the 29-year-old’s contribution.

> Dreadfully brittle second half from [#LFC](https://twitter.com/hashtag/LFC?src=hash&ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw). Alisson the saviour, but even his exceptional performance might not be able to hold back the tide at this rate. 6mins plus stoppage time to come.

Alisson was awarded a [7.10 Sofascore rating](https://www.sofascore.com/player/alisson/243609) for a performance containing four saves and one high claim.

### READ LIVERPOOL VERDICT

Never again should this man go under the radar.

This was a monumental display from the [£54million valued](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/alisson/marktwertverlauf/spieler/105470) stopper who once again proved he is every bit in the conversation for best goalkeeper in the world right now.

Perpahs the best save of the lot came from a situation that was [ultimately flagged offside](https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/32670817) but was further proof of the Brazilian’s frankly superhuman ability to deny attackers from point-blank range.

If the Reds are indeed going to [catch City](https://www.premierleague.com/tables) or achieve anything this season for that matter, Alisson will almost certainly have a huge part to play.
