Liverpool fans on X have waxed lyrical about Alisson Becker after he had an excellent performance during their 2-1 win over West Ham United. The two sides faced each other in the Premier League at Anfield on Sunday, April 13.
The Reds broke the deadlock in the 18th minute after Mohamed Salah delivered a lovely trivela pass across the box for Luis Diaz to tap home. West Ham threatened to level the scores three minutes later via Carlos Soler. However, Alisson thwarted their efforts, saving Soler's shot before brilliantly reacting to tip Mohammed Kudus's chip onto the crossbar.
Alisson made several more top saves in the second half. However, the Brazilian lost his clean sheet after Andrew Robertson scored an own goal (86') following a mixup with Virgil van Dijk. Fortunately for Liverpool, Van Dijk headed home three minutes later to seal all three points for his side.
