Liverpool goalkeeper Alisson was full of praise for Chelsea shot-stopper Edouard Mendy for his efforts in the penalty shootout moments after the Reds lifted the FA Cup.
The Reds lifted the trophy after prevailing 6-5 on penalties, with Alisson saving a penalty from Mason Mount to gift team-mate Kostas Tsimikas the opportunity to score the winner – and he duly obliged. Blues captain Cesar Azpilicueta missed his spot-kick earlier in the shoot-out, but Sadio Mane failed to capitalise on the mistake as he saw his strike saved by his compatriot Mendy.
And despite emotions running high after Tsimikas had converted the winner, Alisson remained incredibly compassionate when speaking to the media, in particular when discussing the saves that he and Mendy were forced into making over the course of 120 minutes and then penalties.
