Jordan Henderson has admitted that Liverpool perhaps take Alisson 'for granted' after his heroic display against Crystal Palace.
The Reds overcame a tough test at Selhurst Park to run out 3-1 winners thanks to first-half goals from Virgil van Dijk and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain and a late Fabinho penalty.
Palace grabbed a goal back through Odsonne Edouard in the second half and may have got something from the game had it not been for Alisson, who made impressive stops to deny Michael Olise and Jean-Philippe Mateta.
After preserving Liverpool's lead before Fabinho finished the match off from the spot, the goalkeeper was hailed by his captain.

“He was (outstanding), but he’s always like that, to be honest," Henderson told Liverpoolfc.com .
“You do take him for granted a little bit. With the saves that he makes, he makes them look so easy, but there was a couple of big moments in the second half that he sort of dug us out and kept us in the game.
“So, a massive performance from him and ultimately he gets us the three points.”
The win means Liverpool have reduced the gap to leaders Manchester City to nine points, having played one game fewer.

The Premier League has now shut down for two weeks and Henderson has stressed the importance of the Reds maintaining their momentum once the campaign gets back underway.
“We want to keep going, there is still a long way to go,” the 31-year-old said.
“We know City have got a big lead and are a fantastic side so it’s just about concentrating on ourselves and what we can do.
“We want to keep winning games and see where we are at, come the end of the season."
The victory over Palace followed the win at Arsenal that booked the club's place in the Carabao Cup final.
And Henderson continued: "We’ve had a big week, three big wins and three good performances so it would have been nice to carry it on I suppose with the rhythm that we’ve got.
“But it’s an opportunity to recharge after a hectic couple of months, to sort of recharge the batteries, come back and hopefully be in good shape to then finish the remaining part of the season off and hopefully we can finish strong.”
