Alexis McAllister put in a superb performance as Liverpool beat Bournemouth 4-0 on Sunday afternoon.The Argentine has had a few problems with his midfield role since arriving at Anfield.
Liverpool fans called early on for Fabinho to be brought on as a substitute so that Mac Allister could come up through the ranks. But this summer’s signing has now settled into his new role, and with Wataru Endo also flourishing and Stefan Vaicetic still not back, the Reds now look well equipped in midfield.The World Cup winner has impressed in recent weeks, taking the club’s sixth-place finish, but his fantastic performance against the Cherries in a Liverpool shirt was light.
His tenacity helped Jurgen Klopp’s men move five points clear at the top of the Premier League at the Vitality Stadium on Sunday, breaking Liverpool’s record eight goals. According to statisticians Skwawka, no Liverpool player has attempted more shots in a single Premier League game in the last eight seasons than McAllister attempted nine shots against Bournemouth.
He also recorded 15 tackles, 14 tackles for loss, two fumbles and three fumble recoveries. Simply put, he was a defensive beast against Bournemouth. Only Ibrahima Konate comes close in games won (12) and total tries saved (11, compared to McAllister’s 13).In addition, the former Brighton midfielder has the second most tackles (98) and pass attempts (72) in the game.
