Liverpool goalkeeper Alisson may have just paid back his £67m transfer fee in just one defining moment against Napoli last night.
The Partenopei striker Arkadiusz Milik looked destined to equalise in injury time, only for the Reds keeper to spread himself and save from point-blank range.
Supporters on Twitter were quick to praise Alisson for his crucial intervention:
Alison would have saved Titanic if he was on board. Chief goalie

After the game, manager Jurgen Klopp said he would have been prepared to pay double for the Brazilian international if he had known how good he was going to be for the Reds.
Alisson currently has the best save percentage of any keeper in the Premier League and has been part of a defence that has conceded just six goals in 16 Premier League games.
The 26-year-old has had an excellent start to his Anfield career, and the confidence he would have gained after his excellent display yesterday evening should hold him in good stead for the rest of the season.
