Alisson makes Leeds United admission after Crysencio Summerville winner at Liverpool

Liverpool goalkeeper Alisson Becker believes he should have saved Crysencio Summerville's winner at Anfield. The 21-year-old scored the all important goal for Jesse Marsch's side on the eve of his birthday, to lift Leeds United out of the bottom three.

The Whites were the only team in the bottom-half of the Premier League to win on Saturday, making the win against Jurgen Klopp's side more important than just a historic result. Leeds took the lead when Rodrigo latched onto a gift of a back pass from Joe Gomez, who mistimed his pass back to the Liverpool keeper, leaving the Spaniard with a tap in to an empty net.

The hosts would grab one back through Mo Salah, setting up a nervy second-half for both sides. Leeds had a golden opportunity to take the lead through Patrick Bamford, but the Whites forward fluffed his lines.

With just one minute left of normal time, Wilfried Gnonto had the ball at his feet in the left-hand channel, poked a cross through to Bamford who redeemed from his early miss, by setting up Summerville for the winner.

Speaking after the game, Alisson said: "We have to think a lot about what we did wrong tonight. The two goals we conceded we shouldn't concede. I should have saved the second goal.

"We had opportunities up front. We are really disappointed for this result. This is the Premier League. We don't have time to breathe.

"We have to fight game after game. When you have bad results at home when you need points it's frustrating but we cannot allow to have that frustration in the next game."
