Alan Shearer and Roy Keane agree on Liverpool star playing 'sexy football'

Alan Shearer and Roy Keane have both agreed that Alexis Mac Allister played a key role in Liverpool's 2-1 win over Brighton & Hove Albion.

Despite not getting on the scoresheet, the 25-year-old was Liverpool's most creative force in the first half against his former club. He made the difference with a fine pass in for Mohammed Salah who netted the winner after Luis Diaz scored the Reds' equaliser in the first half.

Mac Allister created the most chances of the match and ended up with a 92% pass accuracy. He now has 12 goal contributions this season, which is the joint-most from a Reds midfielder.

"The understanding from both of them, I mean Mac Allister no doubt was outstanding on the pitch, he was incredible. You can see as soon as he gets the ball, Salah is off, he's making run and after after run, on the hope that he finds him.

"He certainly did that, wandering away from the defender and in behind. It's a brilliant run and he picks him out, as soon as he picks his head he is off and the ball is delivered. Better touch and he is in again, he got in so many times and his finishing was poor today but the sign of a top striker is you keep going and eventually you get the goal.
