Liverpool midfielder Fabinho praised goalkeeper Alisson and matchwinner Mohamed Salah for victory over Manchester City.

Salah struck the only goal of the game on Sunday.

Fabinho said, "Even being at our best, they had chances to score. They played a very good game as well but we knew if we keep fighting, if we keep playing our football with the fans behind us, we could win this game. We had good opportunities to score and in the end, after a nice assist from Ali, Mo scored a nice goal. Then we had to suffer together, we had to defend and we did this perfectly.

"This is not a normal goal [but], of course, not the first time we scored like this from Ali to Mo. We scored a couple of times like this already. But sometimes in a game like this, we need a goal that is not so normal to score and that's what happened. Yes, I'm happy for us and for Mo to score again."
