What Alisson did in front of Jurgen Klopp at final whistle of Liverpool's thrashing at Man United

Sunday couldn’t have gone much better for any Liverpool fan after watching their side thrash fierce rivals Manchester United in their own backyard at Old Trafford.

Mohamed Salah cemented his place as the worlds best player with a first-ever hat-trick in the Premier League for an opposition player at Old Trafford.

Jurgen Klopp’s side remain just a single point behind Chelsea at the top of the Premier League in what is certain to be an enthralling race for the title.

Liverpool’s Egyptian King took his Premier League tally for the season to 10 goals as he scored his third and the Reds’ fifth goal 10 minutes after the half-time break.

Naby Keita was stretchered off after a shocking challenge from Paul Pogba – in which he was given a red card by referee Anthony Taylor.

On Inside Old Trafford: Man Utd 0-5 Liverpool , the footage on YouTube captures Klopp fist-pumping in front of the delighted travelling Liverpool fans, but what can be seen is Alisson Becker copying his manager.

The Brazilian has become a fan favourite amongst the Reds faithful and has started the season in the form of his life and has five clean sheets to his name so far.

Alisson’s form has been key to Liverpool remaining the only side to be unbeaten in the Premier League so far this season.

The goalkeeper is the best in the world when it comes to making a save in a one-on-one situation and it is almost as if he gets in the strikers head before they manage to get their shot off.

Alisson is clearly loving his time at Anfield since arriving from Roma in the summer of 2018 and, if he was to spend the majority of his remaining career at Liverpool, he would go down as one of the all-time great goalkeepers at the club.
