Alisson Names His Best Premier League Moment
Liverpool goalkeeper Alisson has been making headlines since the day he arrived at Anfield in 2018, and he recently offered an intriguing choice when asked to name his best Premier League moment. Despite his last-gasp save against Napoli that helped the Reds to a sixth European Cup and his unlikely match-winning header against West Brom in 2021, Alisson chose a recent Save of the Month against Newcastle as his favorite.
Alisson’s Acrobatic Efforts Against Newcastle
The Brazilian described the save as “really difficult” and explained that as a goalkeeper, you have to go for every ball. He went on to say that it was a nice save to look at as well, and it helped the team with the three points. The Reds went on to win the game 2-1 after a dramatic late brace from substitute Darwin Nunez stole the points, despite the side being down to 10 men for the majority of the contest.
Liverpool’s Impressive Start to the 2023/24 Campaign
The win acted as a springboard for an impressive start to the 2023/24 campaign, with Liverpool situated within striking distance of leaders Tottenham despite a difficult opening set of fixtures. Alisson believes his save in that game could go on to be a defining moment this season, demonstrating his faith that the Reds have what it takes to mount a serious title challenge.
Alisson’s Thoughts on His Best Premier League Moment
“I have a feeling this one will be special for us,” Alisson said of his save against Newcastle. “I’m a goalkeeper, I had to go with the save [as my best Premier League moment] I’m sorry, I think people will be disappointed with me for not picking the [West Brom] goal. In a few years, we will have to do another one!”
Alisson has been a game-changer between the sticks since arriving in 2018, making 241 appearances and becoming arguably the greatest stopper on the planet in the process. His choice of best Premier League moment is an intriguing one, and it will be interesting to see if it proves to be a defining moment for Liverpool this season.
