'World class' - Kostas Tsimikas heaps praise on 'unbelievable' Liverpool player after West Ham win

Liverpool left-back Kostas Tsimikas named Alisson Becker as an "unbelievable player" after the Brazilian saved Jarrod Bowen's penalty during the win over West Ham.

The Reds took the lead in the first half thanks to a Darwin Nunez header, but Joe Gomez's foul gave Bowen the chance to equalise late on in the half, but Alisson had other ideas.

Tsimikas, who started in place of Andy Robertson on Wednesday night, believes Alisson showed what a "world class goalkeeper" he is with his performance.

When speaking to Viaplay Football after the game, Tsimikas was quick to heap praise on the Liverpool goalkeeper.

""It was very tough, the opponent are a very good team - they fought for a result but we had Ali to save every ball!" said Tsimikas. "We are glad we have him - he showed what a world class goalkeeper he is. Unbelievable player."

Liverpool's win over West Ham was their second on the bounce in the Premier League as they moved up to seventh in the league table. The Reds take on Nottingham Forest at the City Ground on Saturday afternoon.
