Liverpool beat Southampton 3-1 at home in the Premier League on Saturday, and Alisson and Darwin Nunez were showered with praise from fans.
The Reds were facing their last game before the World Cup, and only victory was acceptable in the battle for the top four.
Roberto Firmino gave Jurgen Klopp’s team the perfect start by heading home, but Che Adams quickly equalized after a poor defense.
It was then the Darwin Nunez show, where the Uruguayan twice skillfully finished from close range before the break, as his impressive form persists.
Alisson made several vital stops in the second half as Liverpool’s performance declined, but in the end they watched the game and won four in a row for the first time this season.
Liverpool won, but after some excellent saves they had the outstanding Alisson to thank…
I think it’s safe to say that Alisson Becker is the best goalkeeper we’ve ever had.

Alisson is the best goalkeeper I’ve ever seen. A phenomenal player.

Alisson Becker is the best goalkeeper who has ever worn a Liverpool shirt.

What a salvation from Alisson to refuse Adams. Today it was just huge.

“How many 1 on 1 saves Ali today? Top class”
– IndoKop in the TIA comments.
Alisson is the best goalkeeper in Liverpool’s history. And one of the best goalkeepers of all time.
He’s unreal. Helps us out so often.

This goalkeeper is the best I’ve ever seen. Top saves are the norm.

Is Alisson the best player in the league?
— Belinder (@_bubblxs) November 12, 2022
Alisson could be the best player in the world right now. The level at which he performs is unreal. Without him, we would be sitting here and talking about how we missed the 2-goal advantage. And I’m not kidding, Ali really could be the best player in the world right now.

It was also another important day for the hero-scorer Nunez…
The taunts about Darwin Nunez have become awfully quiet, haven’t they? ?
— Ben Kelly (@bkelly776) November 12, 2022
Darwin Nunez now averages a goal or assist every 81 minutes at Liverpool.

We’re going to have a hell of a lot of fun with Darwin Nunez.
— Lynn Prescott (@_lfcleanne) November 12, 2022
Nunez in the No. 27 shirt, and Haaland in the No. 9 shirt is quite suitable, since Darwin is 3 times better than the player.

“Overall, Nunez’s performance today was fantastic.”
- Outstanding awesome character in the comments.
Darwin has eight goals and two assists in 886 minutes this season?
— Sam McGuire (@SamMcGuire90) November 12, 2022
Look at Darwin Nunez’s awareness in his movement in front of goal. Notes the strengthening of Southampton’s defense, takes one step with them so as not to be offside, and then leaves the offside in the dust and scores 2:1. The movement of the notorious scorer.
— Maxi (@MaaxiAngelo) November 12, 2022
I can’t believe people are surprised that Nunez is scoring, it was the most obvious scoring explosion of all time.
— ?? (@isoquince) November 12, 2022
Despite all the talk about Darwin Nunez offering “chaos,” today’s game looked like a real center forward. He made some brilliant passes in the formation, and also scored two vital goals. Without a doubt, a big second half of the season awaits him.

There is a much-needed sense of optimism ahead of the World Cup…
Good three points. The results in the first half are better than in the second, Alisson probably held us back at times, but was happy to start this six-week break with a positive.
— Could he play (@andcouldheplay7) on November 12, 2022
It resembles a Spurs game; a great first half, but a bad second.
However, winning is all that matters, and going into this break not a million miles away from fourth is a good thing, all things considered.

“Today is a really good game. A good way to go to the World Cup!”
– BobbysTeeth in the comments.
An important victory for Liverpool, who look in much better shape from the point of view of the top four thanks to the recovery before the World Cup. However, they still think that in January they could have used a dominant midfielder — even today there were too many moments when they lost control.
— David Lynch (@dmlynch) November 12, 2022
It’s massive to get a win before the World Cup. Diaz, Hota and Matip will be back when we get back into the game and hopefully sign a couple of contracts in January to finally start this season…. Up The Reds!!! #LIVSU #PHYSICAL THERAPY
