'Like no other' - Liverpool pair singled out after Chelsea win as FA Cup rule change called for

Garth Crooks has recognised Liverpool's FA Cup final heroics at Wembley by naming two of Jurgen Klopp's key men in his Match of the Day team of the week.

The Reds lifted their second major honour of the season on Saturday when Kostas Tsimikas scored the decisive penalty in a sudden death shoot-out after 90 minutes and extra time had finished 0-0. But it was the two spot-kick saves of goalkeeper Alisson who paved the way for victory, ensuring he was the BBC pundit's pick in-between the sticks.

Crooks wrote: "There was yet another Alisson one-on-one save from Danny Ings and an excellent stop from the same player in midweek against Aston Villa to keep Liverpool's title hunt alive. The Brazilian goalkeeper then produced another masterclass and another clean sheet against Chelsea in the FA Cup final. Alisson has had the most amazing season, and short of a catastrophe in the Champions League final he will almost certainly be my goalkeeper of the season."
