  • Alisson and Mohamed Salah produced the moment of the game for Liverpool as the two linked up to create the winning goal against Manchester City
  • Alisson grabbed a tame free kick from Man City and then threaded an inch-perfect pass which saw the Egyptian destroy Joao Cancelo before scoring
  • The assist was the third of the Brazilian keeper's Liverpool career which have all been to Salah

Liverpool's entertaining clash with Manchester City had plenty of talking points, but few can match Alisson's phenomenal inch-perfect pass to Mohamed Salah, who scored the Reds' winning goal.

The Brazilian keeper easily claimed a poor free kick from the Citizens and then threaded a perfect long pass to the Egyptian.

This is the third time Alisson has assisted a goal in Liverpool colours. His game-winning assist saw Jurgen Klopp's side cut the gap between them and City to 10 points.

The entertaining encounter saw Klopp sent off, Phil Foden's goal controversially ruled out, Darwin Nunez missing and Pep Guardiola confronting Liverpool fans. These were some of the unmissable moments in a classic match, according to the BBC.

Alisson's brilliant assist

A tame free kick attempt by City fell into the hands of Alisson, who wasted no time in finding Salah, who expertly turned Joao Cancelo, then slotted past Ederson with 15 minutes left to play.

This was the third time Alisson had assisted Salah. One notable assist was during Liverpool's match against arch-rivals Manchester United during the 2019/20 season, according to Liverpool FC's official site. Both assists were similar.

According to Goal, Salah's goal was his 121st in the top flight for the Reds, which moves him past club icon, Steven Gerrard.

Alisson wins EPL golden glove

Sports Brief earlier reported on Liverpool keeper Alisson winning the 2021/22 golden glove after getting 20 clean sheets.

He shared the award with compatriot Ederson, who had the same number of clean sheets.

In the last game of the season, both keepers had 20 clean sheets each but both teams conceded, meaning there was no outright winner of the award.
