So, we need to keep on going, I think it\u2019s important to build confidence. It\u2019s a good day.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The decisive goal came when Mac Allister planted Dominik Szoboszlai\u2019s excellent delivery beyond Thibaut Courtois, who had, up to that point, frustrated Liverpool again with a string of outstanding saves.<\/p>\n<p>On his goal, the Argentina midfielder said: \u201cNormally I\u2019m the one who blocks for Hugo [Ekitike] but at that time I blocked and I saw the space. It was a good ball from Dom, I just had to head it.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe [Courtois] is a fantastic \u2019keeper, as we all know. He had a few saves. I think he\u2019s a really good \u2019keeper but today I think we were better and we deserved to win.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>You have to accept cookies in order to view this content on our site.<\/p>\n<p>Manage Settings <\/p>\n<p>Arne Slot\u2019s side followed up Saturday\u2019s 2-0 defeat of Aston Villa with another impressive performance, with Mac Allister again to the fore.<\/p>\n<p>When asked about his last two displays in comparison to his previous performances this season, Mac Allister replied: \u201cI always try to think about the team, not about me.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s true that maybe it wasn\u2019t the beginning [of the season] that I wanted, it was a little bit hard for me, but now I\u2019m getting in the rhythm I just wanted to play some games in a row so I\u2019m happy that I had the possibility to play against Villa and again today. So, I\u2019m really happy with it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Published 9 hours ago <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"\u200c Published 9 hours ago By Sam Williams at Anfield Match-winner Alexis Mac Allister hailed the collective after&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":244899,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[33],"tags":[607,608,218,596,603,598,609,611,610,134,602,601,597,606,599,604,101,600,56,54,55,605],"class_list":["post-244898","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-football","tag-alisson","tag-firmino","tag-football","tag-homepage","tag-klopp","tag-lfc","tag-lfc-news","tag-lfctv","tag-lfctv-go","tag-liverpool-fc","tag-liverpool-fc-match","tag-liverpool-fc-news","tag-liverpool-football-club","tag-mane","tag-reds","tag-salah","tag-sports","tag-the-reds","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom","tag-van-dijk"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/244898","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=244898"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/244898\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/244899"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=244898"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=244898"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=244898"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
