Alisson is back to his best but it was a disgrace what happened in Liverpool win

Writing for the Liverpool Echo, John Aldridge praised goalkeeper Alisson's return to form while fiercely criticizing a penalty awarded to Crystal Palace during Liverpool's victory. Aldridge labeled the referee's decision to award a spot-kick for an accidental clash of heads a disgrace and a joke, arguing it unfairly denied Liverpool a clean sheet. He called for the Premier League to involve former players in officiating reviews to restore common sense.

Beyond officiating frustrations, Aldridge commended Liverpool's performance, noting that Alexander Isak scored again while Florian Wirtz and Bradley Barcola impressed in attack. The victory returned Liverpool to the Premier League's top four positions. Aldridge also strongly urged the club's hierarchy to secure Alisson on a new contract extension, expressing delight that discussions regarding a deal have reportedly begun.
