Liverpool fans on Twitter have been waxing lyrical about Brazilian goalkeeper Alisson after his late wonder-save ensured they beat Napoli 1-0 and progressed to the last 16 of the Champions League on Tuesday night.

It was a nervous end to the game at Anfield after the Reds had missed a hatful of chances, and a Napoli goal would have left the home side needing to win by two clear goals in order to qualify from their group.

As the ball fell to Napoli substitute Arkadiusz Milik in the 92nd minute, the whole of the stadium would have expected the net to ripple. Alisson though spread himself brilliantly and managed to block the shot, meaning Liverpool go through at the expense of their Italian opponents.

The 26-year-old keeper joined the Merseyside club from Roma in a £67m move during the summer, and he is already paying back that hefty transfer fee. His ability and calmness with the ball at his feet allows Liverpool to start attacks, and it is clear that his confidence has had a huge effect on the defence.

In fact, his signing is now starting to look like a stroke of sheer genius from Klopp, as the Brazilian has kept an incredible 13 clean sheets in his first 22 games for the club.
