Liverpool goalkeeper Alisson Becker has faulted defender Virgil van Dijk for his error in the 2-1 win over Leicester City in a Premier League game on Saturday.
With two goals up, Alisson made a mistake that gave the Foxes hope as Rachid Ghezzal grabbed a goal.
Alisson got a back pass from Van Dijk but botched his turn with the ball and was dispossessed by Nigerian Kelechi Iheanacho who laid the ball to Ghezzal to slot in.
Speaking after the game, Alisson assured Liverpool fans that he would not make such mistakes again.
“It was a reading the play mistake by me,” Alisson told ESPN Brasil.
“I didn’t receive that good of a pass, we spoke about that in the dressing room, I spoke to Virgil, it wasn’t that good of a pass.
“I also had all the conditions to kick the ball away and tried to keep playing, keep the possession.
“Everyone analyses the games. Obviously, I won’t be stupid to make the same mistake.
“We have to learn from our mistakes. But its part of my game, I won’t be arrogant of saying that I will keep doing this. We have to learn from our mistakes.
“If it is necessary, the dribble has to be the last resource. Unfortunately, today it caused that goal.
“I think that it was a foul, but we can’t support ourselves on that.
“In this kind of play, here in the Premier League, not every collision is a foul.
“In my opinion it was, but it is part of the game, we can’t give room for that to happen on the pitch.”
