Liverpool goalkeeper Alisson Becker helps Fermanagh boy go viral

A young Fermanagh boy became a social media sensation last week with some help from Liverpool star Alisson Becker.

Caiden Mulligan (6) dressed up as the Anfield goalkeeper for Halloween, and even went as far as drawing on a streamlined beard just like his football idol has.

Caiden's father Shane shared a photograph of his son on Twitter and tagged Becker in the post.

And the Champions League winner was so impressed that he shared the post on his official account:

Becker's tweet has been liked over 17,000 times and retweeted almost 1,000 times.

The keeper's reply prompted Shane to share a brief video of Caiden going through some of Alisson's pre-match routine:

Caiden is Liverpool made, and even managed to pick up James Milner's shirt after a game last March, which Milner later signed for the Fermanagh youngster.

Dad Shane told the Impartial Reporter: “It has been a mad few months for him and Liverpool."
