Liverpool goalkeeper Alisson has blamed Man City manager, Pep Guardiola for benching Ederson in yesterday’s FA Cup semifinal.

The Reds won 3-2, with City keeper Zak Steffen at fault for Liverpool’s second goal.

Alisson later said: “I was expecting him to be playing, to be honest.

“Here in England, managers have a choice to rotate the goalkeepers sometimes. This season was different from our side: I played a few games before in the FA Cup and Caoimh [Kelleher] had the opportunity to play the League Cup.

“For me, particularly, it is important to play all the games. Their managers trusts their goalkeeper so that’s all good.

“We take the win. It was everything we wanted. Our target was improving from the last game we played against them [Man City] and we did that.

“At the end of the match, the score was quite tight but you are playing against a great side.”
