Liverpool fans on X have waxed lyrical about Alexis Mac Allister after he had an outstanding performance during their 5-1 win over Tottenham Hotspur. The two sides locked horns in their Premier League clash at Anfield on Sunday, April 27.
The Reds needed just one point to seal their 20th league title coming into the game. However, Spurs threatened to ruin the party after Dominic Solanke headed home in the 12th minute to break the deadlock.
Fortunately for Liverpool, Luis Diaz tapped home four minutes later to level the scores. Alexis Mac Allister made it 2-1 in the 24th minute, unleashing an unstoppable effort into the roof of the net from 20 yards out. Cody Gakpo (34') and Mohamed Salah (63') scored one goal apiece before Destiny Udogie's own-goal (69') ensured the Reds sealed a historic 5-1 win in front of the Anfield faithful.
Mac Allister was named the Player of the Match for his performance, completing 35 passes from an attempted 40 with an accuracy of 88 percent. The Argentine midfielder created two chances, landed two shots on target from an attempted three, and made seven recoveries. He also won the most duels (seven) and made the most tackles (four).
