Alan Shearer names 'superb' Liverpool player who was 'the difference' against Man City

Alan Shearer Liverpool Man City Jurgen Klopp Sadio Mane Zack Steffen FA Cup Manchester City Wembley

Alan Shearer has praised Liverpool goalkeeper Alisson Becker for his fine display against Manchester City in the FA Cup semi-final on Saturday afternoon. The Reds booked their spot in the final with a 3-2 victory over Pep Guardiola's side and will play either Chelsea or Crystal Palace for the cup next month.

Liverpool raced into a three goal lead at Wembley thanks to an Ibrahima Konate header and two from Sadio Mane before City managed to claw two goals back in the second half. After Bernardo Silva's late finish, the Reds needed a calm head between the sticks to see them through.

City goalkeeper Zack Steffen showed how not to manage a big occasion at Wembley while Alisson was the opposite and Shearer believes Jurgen Klopp choosing his first-choice stopper made all the difference at Wembley.
