Alisson Becker has been voted the Premier League's Player of the Matchweek for Matchweek 10, after a superb display in Liverpool's 3-1 win away at Crystal Palace.

The Brazilian goalkeeper made six saves at Selhurst Park, and three of them were outstanding. Together they kept Liverpool ahead at the moments that mattered most.

He kept out Daichi Kamada's fierce point-blank volley with a strong hand, then showed real agility to claw away a header from Adam Wharton. He also denied Yeremy Pino in a one-on-one, closing down the angle and smothering the Palace forward's effort.

Alisson took 27 per cent of the fan vote. His nearest challenger was Nottingham Forest striker Liam Delap on 24 per cent. Delap scored both goals in Forest's 3-1 win over Manchester City, and he had a strong case of his own.

The rest of the shortlist was Everton forward Thierno Barry, Brighton & Hove Albion midfielder Pascal Gross, Leeds United centre-back Tarik Muharemovic and Sunderland defender Nordi Mukiele.

Alisson is the second Liverpool player to win the award this season, after Ronald Araujo in Matchweek 8.

The result lifts Liverpool to fourth on 18 points. Arsenal lead the table on 27 after a 1-0 win over Hull City, five points clear of Brighton, who beat Brentford 2-0.

The Premier League now pauses for the international break, and league action returns on 21 November. If Alisson keeps this form, Liverpool will fancy their chances of climbing higher.
