'Don't change!' - Gomez backs Alisson despite Liverpool howler

The Brazilian was caught out against Leicester City but his team-mates want him to keep on playing from the back

Joe Gomez has backed Alisson Becker to continue playing out from the back despite the goalkeeper’s first major error in a Liverpool shirt.

The £65million ($84m) new-boy was caught out during the Reds’ 2-1 win over Leicester City on Saturday, tackled by Kelechi Iheanacho after delaying over a backpass, allowing Rachid Ghezzal to score for the Foxes.

Alisson held his hands up afterwards, admitting he was “angry” over the mistake and vowing not to repeat it.
