Liverpool 2-1 Brighton: What the managers said

While Mohamed Salah continues to grab the headlines this season with his 16 goals leading Liverpool's title charge, Alexis Mac Allister has been a key creator for Jurgen Klopp's side.

On Sunday, when Liverpool were struggling to break down Brighton & Hove Albion's well-organised defence, Mac Allister crowned a dominant midfield display with a sublime threaded pass for Salah to slot home a winner that sent Liverpool top of the table.

The Argentinian's display at Anfield prompted Alan Shearer, the Premier League's record goalscorer and Hall of Fame inductee, to name Mac Allister in his Team of the Week, along with team-mate Conor Bradley

Emiliano Martinez (Aston Villa)
"Made a big save from Rayan Ait-Nouri at 0-0 and kept a clean sheet. His distribution was also superb."

Conor Bradley (Liverpool)
"Worked his socks off with some non-stop running in a great battle with Simon Adingra on the right."

William Saliba (Arsenal)
"An imperious display from the Arsenal centre-back as he helped his side to a big point at the Etihad."

Gabriel (Arsenal)
"Didn't put a foot wrong. Man City had no joy against him, they didn't get a sniff in front of goal."

Ezri Konsa (Aston Villa)
"Solid at the back and weighed in with a crucial second goal, even if he didn’t know much about it!"

Cole Palmer (Chelsea)
"Proving to be a big player for Chelsea this season. Scored another two goals including a panenka penalty."

Alexis Mac Allister (Liverpool)
"Liverpool needed something special to break down Brighton, and he provided it with his pass for Salah's winner. Ran the show." 

Anthony Gordon (Newcastle)
"Bags of energy, a tireless work-rate and set up the winning goal in a sensational comeback win against West Ham."

Ben Brereton Diaz (Sheff Utd)
"Fulham struggled to handle him. Two goals and an assist should have won Sheffield United the points."

Alexander Isak (Newcastle)
"Kept his cool to score two penalties and then produced a great assist for Barnes' equaliser. Wonderful display."

Harvey Barnes (Newcastle)
"Newcastle looked dead and buried at 3-1 down, but two goals in seven minutes - that is how to make an impact as a sub!"

Manager: Unai Emery (Aston Villa)
"After losing three of their previous four home matches Villa needed a statement victory in their race for fourth, and what better way than winning a derby?"
