Liverpool goalkeeper coach Achterberg hails Alisson Wembley display: Awesome!

Liverpool goalkeeper coach John Achterberg hailed Alisson Becker's performance in the FA Cup final penalty shootout win against Chelsea.

The Brazil keeper made his first ever penalty save for Liverpool to deny Mason Mount and set up the chance for Kostas Tsimikas to convert the decisive spot-kick.

Alisson's composed display was celebrated by his trainer.

"He was outstanding," said Achterberg. "Awesome.

"There were a lot of man-of-the match performances but he was one of them. He is really calm and clear in his mind. Nothing fazes him. He is an unbelievable human being."
