Liverpool goalkeeper Alisson Becker has vowed to learn from the calamitous error that almost cost his team victory at Leicester City on Saturday.

With the Reds leading 2-0 in the second half at the King Power Stadium, the Brazilian was dispossessed as he attempted to dribble past substitute Kelechi Iheanacho in his own box.

The Leicester striker subsequently teed up Rachid Ghezzal to reduce the arrears, making for a nervy finish to the game for the visitors.

Jurgen Klopp’s team ultimately held out to secure a 2-1 win that keeps them top of the Premier League but, speaking after the game, Alisson was not pleased to have put that outcome at risk.

“It was a bad reaction to a mistake, a defensive mistake. The most important thing was we got the win,” he told ESPN Brasil.

“I am angry that I made a mistake that put the team in a difficult situation. When one person makes a mistake, it affects everyone and everyone fought back together.

“We have to improve still but the result is what matters at the moment.

“It was bad judgement. I made a mistake reading the play. I didn’t get a very good pass. We talked about that in the dressing room and I spoke to Virgil.

“It wasn’t a good pass but I could have just kicked it long.

“I wanted to keep playing and keep the possession. Now everyone is going to analyse that. I’m not going to be stupid and make the same mistake.

“We have to learn from our mistakes.”

Alisson also refused to promise he will continue taking chances with the ball at his feet, describing dribbling as the ‘last resort’ for goalkeepers.

“It is part of my game but I am not going to be arrogant to stand here and say I’m going to keep doing it. We have to learn from our mistakes,” he added.

“If it is necessary the dribble has to be the last resort. Unfortunately today it caused the goal. I actually think it was a foul but I don’t want to blame it on that.

“In the Premier League it’s not the kind of contact that results in a foul. It’s part of the game. I just have to make sure that doesn’t happen again.”
