da leao: Loads of Liverpool fans have been reflecting on the week’s action, and they’re running out of superlatives for Alisson Becker.
Liverpool stayed hot on the heels of Manchester City this week, matching the Champions’ Tuesday night win at Watford by grabbing all three points in a 3-1 win at Turf Moor.
Burnley were extremely physical and certainly gave the Reds a run for the money, and Alisson was forced to prove his worth with just moments to go.

The Brazilian international, who swapped Rome for Merseyside in a massive £56m deal this summer, made a miraculous save to stop a Burnley equaliser with the score at 2-1, just moments before springing the counter attack that made the third Liverpool goal.
The 26 year-old’s commanding presence has had a huge influence on the defenders in front of him, and he is now just as important as the colossal Virgil van Dijk.
The Reds have been crying out for a world class goalkeeper since Pepe Reina lost form and left the club, and it’s starting to look like the record-breaking move to sign Alisson was a stroke of genius from Jurgen Klopp.
