He was replaced with new recruit Adrian, who recently swapped his West Ham kit for Liverpool. The unexpected debut could end up as an extended run in front of the goal with fears that Alisson may be out of the season with a torn calf or an ACL.

Alisson was not missed for the remainder of the first half as Liverpool scored another goal after his substitution. Goals from Salah, Van Dijk and Origi along with an own goal from Grant Hanley saw Liverpool end the first half in a dominant position. However, against tougher opponents, the Reds will severely miss Alisson who had a phenomenal showing last season.
