Jordan Pickford could not believe what he had done as the Liverpool players celebrated the winner in the Merseyside derby.
The Everton keeper made a blunder which gifted Divock Origi the only goal of the game, and it hurt more because it came in the 96th minute.
Alisson was celebrating the winner all alone before an enthusiastic Jurgen Klopp ran onto the pitch and hugged the Brazilian.
After the final whistle, the Brazilian was seen consoling the Everton keeper. Pickford didn’t seem to be interested in the words of the former AS Roma man.
Keeper’s union. 🧤

The Liverpool keeper might not have been in the action as long as Pickford had, but did have one incredible save.
Andre Gomes was a couple of yards from the goal and he headed in what should have been the opener.
However, Alisson reacted brilliantly and spread himself to block the effort before Joe Gomez swept the ball away.
The Brazilian hasn’t been tested too many times thanks to our defence but this was possibly his best game of the season.
Alisson also rushed off his line well to deny Theo Walcott and this should give him a lot of confidence going into our next game.
The 26-year-old knows how it feels to make a mistake on the pitch, as he did against Leicester, but that did not affect the result.

This was a classy gesture from the Brazilian and it just goes to show the kind of character we have playing for us in between the sticks now.
