Liverpool 2-0 Man Utd: Four things we learned – Virgil van Dijk has been robbed

Alisson is rapid

You thought your outfield players were quick didn’t you? Was that before or after you saw our goalkeeper sprint the full length of the field to celebrate with Salah.

The Brazilian is well known for his ability to play the ball with his feet and his positional skills. Time and time again Alisson has been quick to react to a situation developing and snuff it out before it can become an issue. Even if it’s from miles away.

This can sometimes be a problem and the Brazilian hasn’t always been flawless. He gave away a goal against Leicester last season, but those problems have largely been ironed out and now Alisson is the proud owner of a brand new Premier League assist.

And so we come to the sprint. What pace, the hair flowing in the wind, the beard looking lush. Bloody gorgeous sight. That celebration showed the emotions of a man and a team who now think they are going to win the league, even if they won’t say it.

This is a brilliant team with star players all the way through it. And now we can add a rapid goalkeeper to the mix.
