Alisson: Teamwork the key to clean sheets

Saturday’s 1-0 win over Brighton and Hove Albion saw Alisson become only the fourth goalkeeper in the last 51 seasons to record a shutout in each of the Reds’ opening trio of league games, following Bruce Grobbelaar, Pepe Reina and Simon Mignolet.

The Brazil international showed rapid reflexes to palm Pascal Gross’ late, goal-bound header away and secure the three points versus Brighton - a match that was preceded by to-nil victories over West Ham United and Crystal Palace.
