Graeme Souness hails Alisson after denying Jesse Lingard, and aims sly dig at Loris Karius

Sky Sports pundit Graeme Souness hailed the performance of goalkeeper Alissson in Liverpool's 0-0 draw against Manchester United.

The Brazilian made a number of important saves, one of which denied Red Devils midfielder Jesse Lingard, who was subsequently replaced due to injury.

Souness also implicitly criticised the contribution of Loris Karius during his time on Merseyside.
