'IF IT WORKS, IT'S COOL'
Liverpool goalkeeper Alisson Becker provided a lovely little sideshow during his side's 1-0 win over Brighton on Saturday. Alisson may be a goalkeeper by trade, but he's also Brazilian by birth, which means when faced with a scurrying Anthony Knockaert trying to close him down on the edge of his own 18-yard box, he's liable to do something audacious. And he did, by flicking the ball over the onrushing attacker before passing it back to defender Virgil van Dijk. As wonderfully ridiculous as it was, it was enough to give Jurgen Klopp palpitations as he watched on: "That wasn't too cool for a manager. If it works then it's cool! Alisson is obviously a goalkeeper who can play football, which is good. He's confident enough to do it. He didn't do it for showing off, he did it to sort the situation."
