The arrival of goalkeeper Alisson has helped breed confidence throughout Liverpool, according to defender Andrew Robertson.

The Brazil No.1 arrived at Anfield for £65million from Roma last month, and has kept three clean sheets in a row to start the Premier League season.

“He’s been brilliant since he came in,” Robertson told Liverpool’s official website.

“He’s a real presence at the back, you can see him coming out for corners and crosses and you’ve seen his wee chip got applause from the crowd, but I’m not sure if the gaffer wants to see that too many times.

“But fair play to him and that’s the confidence he’s playing with and it breeds onto the defence. When we needed him he came alive and palmed it away. Fair play to him so far, he’ll be delighted with three clean sheets and long may it continue.”

Robertson’s words were echoed by defensive partner Trent Alexander-Arnold.

“I think he’s a world-class goalkeeper and he’s shown it,” the England international told his club’s website.

“With his composure on the ball he is probably one of the best in the world and he definitely showed it that with the chip – hopefully he doesn’t have to do that again.”
