3 encouraging signs for Liverpool after the win against Brighton 

#1 Alisson's composure aiding the defence

Liverpool fans now live in the security that there is a truly world class keeper in goal, with Alisson's composure rubbing off on the rest of Liverpool's defence. The Brazilian's composure really showed when faced up against Anthony Knockaert, who tormented Manchester United with his runs in behind the defence.

Knockaert came charging at the 25-year-old hoping to draw an error but the former Roma goalkeeper stayed remarkably calm and chipped the ball over the Brighton frontman. That moment of magic lifted the spirit of Anfield and brought supports to their feet, helping relieve any tension they might have had with the score at 1-0.

Brighton started to play more direct as the game went on, looking for passes over the top. Joe Gomez, however, remained alert and alleviated any further pressure on the Reds. Virgil Van Dijk and Gomez often went back to Alisson knowing that he would make a pass capable of starting another Liverpool attack.

Midway into the second half, however, Glen Murray carried on hurrying the Liverpool keeper and nearly caught out Alisson, who tried to take on the former Palace forward but lost control of the ball.

There always runs a fine line between goalkeepers performing a great piece of skill or making a calamitous error; a line Alisson might want to tread a bit more carefully.
