Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp praised "world class" goalkeeper Alisson after his late save secured a point against Everton in the Merseyside derby.


Dominic Calvert-Lewin's close-range flick was kept out by the Brazilian before Tom Davies' shot from the loose ball struck the post.
That was the closest either side came to scoring in a low-key Goodison Park encounter, which ended goalless.
"We should not take him [Alisson] for granted," said Klopp.
"Absolutely outstanding. That's what a world-class goalkeeper is - nothing to do for pretty much 90 minutes then he's there."
Liverpool now need five points to be sure of the Premier League title and can still clinch their first top-flight trophy in 30 years against Crystal Palace at Anfield on Wednesday - but only if Manchester City fail to beat Burnley at Etihad Stadium on Monday.
Alisson also saved well from Brazilian compatriot Richarlison as a largely tame game, with the surreal atmosphere of a derby played behind closed doors, sprang to life.
Everton keeper Jordan Pickford saved well from Fabinho's free-kick in the closing moments but it was a game that highlighted two understandably rusty sides - although Liverpool's coronation will come soon.
