Jamie Carragher argues Alisson was 'EXTREMELY lucky' that Ruben Dias' goal for Manchester City was ruled out for Manuel Akanji foul.. as he says there was 'hardly anything' from the defender in challenge

Jamie Carragher believes Alisson was 'extremely lucky' that Ruben Dias' goal for Manchester City was ruled out after Manuel Akanji was adjudged to have fouled him.

The defender's second-half goal was chalked off because Akanji and Alisson had made contact while jumping for the ball from the corner, causing the goalkeeper to miss it.

That would have put City 2-0 up but a debateable foul was given and the game eventually finished 1-1 after Trent Alexander-Arnold's late strike cancelled out Erling Haaland's first-half effort.

Former Liverpool defender Carragher thinks Alisson, who had a shaky day between the posts, was fortunate.
