Liverpool ace Alisson Becker nominated for PL save of the month for world-class stop vs Tottenham
Liverpool superstar Alisson Becker has been deservedly nominated for September’s Premier League Save of the Month, for a phenomenal stop against Tottenham Hotspur’s Son Heung-min. This was confirmed by the club’s official website.
The Brazilian’s reflex save to deny Son’s powerful volley in Saturday’s clash was a timely reminder of his undisputed world-class ability. If any doubted the Liverpool ace before, they would have had to eat their words then.
That it came amidst VAR controversy in Liverpool’s 2-1 loss makes Alisson’s brilliant intervention even more noteworthy. His split-second instinct and elastic agility left Son stunned and prevented a potentially decisive second Spurs goal.
Ever since his arrival from AS Roma in 2018, Alisson continued excelling between the posts. His Save of the Month nomination validates his individual excellence and reliability in protecting Liverpool’s goal.
Despite his consistent excellence in guarding the posts, be it for club or country, it remains surprising that Alisson missed out on a top-three finish in 2022 FIFA’s The Best Goalkeeper Award.
On Alisson Becker‘s current form, few shot-stoppers on the planet can match his sharpness, composure, and cat-like reactions. His stop versus Tottenham is up against saves from Jordan Pickford (Everton), Guglielmo Vicario (Tottenham), Ederson (Manchester City), David Raya (Arsenal) and Robert Sanchez (Chelsea).
Alisson boasts the complete modern goalkeeper’s package – athleticism, handling, distribution, and leadership. He has consistently bailed out the Reds season after season and his value cannot be overstated.
