Liverpool have maintained their slim chance of finishing in the top four of the Premier League table this season with a 2-0 win against Southampton at home this evening.

The Reds, who look set to lose their crown as the Premier League champions to Manchester City, scored one in each half to pick up the points.

Sadio Mane put Liverpool in the lead in the 31st minute, and Thiago doubled the advantage late in the game.

It was not exactly a great performance from Liverpool, but one player who was brilliant was Alisson.

The Brazil international goalkeeper has not had the best of seasons and has made some bad errors at bad times, but against Southampton he was brilliant.

Okay, there was one occasion against Che Adams when the 28-year-old made a mistake, but he quickly recovered.

Liverpool’s defence was far from great, and Alisson had to come to his teammates’ rescue time and time again.

The former AS Roma star denied Adams and Nathan Redmond moments before Liverpool scored their first goal and was a strong presence in the second half as well.

Some Liverpool fans were impressed by Alisson’s performance and have raved about him on Twitter.

Below are some of the best comments on Twitter:
