Alisson Becker has been an absolute revelation since he signed for us in the summer and he kept out a former Red in Philippe Coutinho with a hugely impressive save.
Coutinho, arriving to the right of Alisson, shaped to fire a shot far to Alisson’s left, but his compatriot was equal to the challenge and made a nimble save, stretching all the way to keep him out.
Barça’s Brazilian has been relatively quiet tonight, while ours has had his work cut out for him.
He’s doing a majestic job of keeping them out and we’ll need him to keep it up for the second half as we attack the Kop end and hunt for another two goals.
