The debut season for Brazilian national team goalkeeper Alisson at Liverpool is unfolding like a fairy tale. Liverpool is not favored to win the English Premier League, but Alisson himself has no competition this season. In yesterday's match against Huddersfield, the Brazilian once again kept his goal "dry." It was the 20th time this season that Alisson has not conceded a goal in a match. After yesterday's game, he entered the top five of the best goalkeepers in the Premier League who have kept their goal "dry." He matched Pepe Reina, who also kept his goal "dry" in 20 matches during his time at Liverpool. The legendary Peter Schmeichel also had the same statistic. Edwin van der Sar had kept a clean sheet in 21 Premier League matches in the past, and the all-time record belongs to Petr Čech, who kept his goal "dry" in 24 games during the 2004-05 season. Alisson could potentially rise to second place.
