He did an amazing Job! Alisson hails Chelsea player after FA Cup final
Liverpool won the FA Cup final against Chelsea on Saturday, continuing their quest for a quadruple.
Even Liverpool can relate to having luck on their side, having defeated Chelsea twice on penalties in consecutive Cup finals.
For the Reds, Alisson and Chelsea goalkeeper Edouard Mendy were outstanding. Both goalkeepers did everything they could to keep a goal out until extra time.
In the first 15 minutes of the game, when Liverpool went on a rampage, Mendy made an outstanding one-on-one stop to deny Liverpool attacker Luis Diaz, and he was the difference for Chelsea.
Alisson agreed that he and Mendy played well together.
Alisson said on BBC Sport: “I am so happy. Myself and also Mendy did amazing saves.
“I couldn’t have done the saves without the help of the team. They work well and make it easier for me.”
Speaking after the game, Thomas Tuchel as well admitted that Mendy kept Chelsea in the tie after Liverpool went on rampage in the first 15 minutes of the tie.
Tuchel said: “We managed to stay in the match, clearly because of an excellent goalkeeping performance from Edou.
“We dug in and got better and better, more confident and we found solutions and created chances ourselves. Everybody is in pain, there is no way you escape this game without pain.”
