Liverpool boss Klopp hails 'sensational' Alisson for Fulham draw

Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp admits he was happy to have Alisson back for their 1-1 draw at Fulham.

Alisson returned to Liverpool's starting line-up after recovering from the hamstring injury that had ruled him out of the previous three fixtures.

The goalkeeper was called into action on a handful of occasions in the first half, needing to thwart good Fulham openings to deny them a bigger advantage at the break.

“You could see in one or two situations that he needs rhythm too, but in the key moments he was there," Klopp said of his No.1.

“Sensational saves, obviously, but the goalkeeper on the other side had a pretty important job to do as well."
