Alexis Mac Allister has praised the performance of Alisson Becker at Crystal Palace, with the Liverpool goalkeeper producing an excellent showing to help secure the three points.
Liverpool scored three times through Mac Allister, Florian Wirtz and Alexander Isak, but it was Alisson's saves that stopped Crystal Palace from going ahead in the game, plus a bit of good fortune when Jorgen Strand Larsen netted but was marginally offside.
The Brazilian was superb at Selhurst Park, with Mac Allister putting Liverpool ahead with a header after a series of Alisson interventions from the likes of Daichi Kamada and Adam Wharton.
"He's so good — especially the save from Kamada's shot (in the first half)," Mac Allister told club media.
"Kamada couldn't believe the save he made, and he was telling me. But that's who he is — he is an amazing goalkeeper and an amazing guy as well. I'm really, really happy for him."
Mac Allister has rediscovered his previous goalscoring threat, particularly with his head, in recent games. Liverpool is benefiting from his strong performances too.
"It feels good (to score)," Mac Allister said. "It's the first one in the Premier League, but I scored twice in the Champions League and in another competition, so it's great to score, especially in a set-piece because it's something that I like.
"I think people and the coaching staff are realizing I like it as well. It's nice to score and to put the game to 1-0 and then I think we played a good game. Sometimes we can control it a little bit better but all in all I think it was a good performance."
Set pieces — both offensively and defensively — were a thorn in Liverpool's side last season, but that has turned around under Andoni Iraola so far, aside from the Fenerbahce game.
"We do work (on them) and we know how important it is," Mac Allister, who has already netted five goals in 16 games this season, added.

"The other day we lost a game where we conceded three set-pieces. Today we won it because we scored from it so we understand how important it is, especially in football nowadays.
"The Premier League is becoming more and more physical. We saw it last season how important set-pieces are so we work on it and we're getting the results."
