Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp was pleased with Alexis Mac Allister's performance for their win at Bournemouth.
Mac Allister was particularly impressive in the first-half.
Klopp said: "Thank you for mentioning that. Sometimes people forget that because in the second half we scored the goals.
"Absolutely exceptional performance, I have to say. I'm so happy for us, obviously, but for him as well, he's a really good footballer, let me say it like that. Defensively did a good job and offensively he is anyway a super-important player for us, he was calm on the ball, all the good things in the first half already happened with him.
"Yeah, really happy."
