Alisson hails Liverpool 'passion' for victory at Palace

Liverpool goalkeeper Alisson was delighted with their 2-1 win at Crystal Palace.

The Reds fought back from 1-0 down to win 2-1.

Alisson said, "We plan before the games for that – to start well, to stay well and to finish well.

"But this is football, it's an unpredictable game and sometimes everything that you are doing doesn't work for many reasons and you don't have time during the game to discover what is going wrong.

"You have to change quickly in mind and sometimes it's about passion as well. We had that at the end of the game, the last 20 minutes, a lot of passion from our players, a lot of intensity and we never gave up. We were rewarded for that with scoring two goals."

He added: "Really difficult game. They have a way to play that was difficult for us to find spaces and to create opportunities.

"In counter-attacks, they are strong, they have quick players up front, strong players who keep the ball and who play really, really good football. They had an opportunity in the first half to score, they had the penalty that they scored and set-pieces as well. But we dealt quite well in those situations."
