The Italian ace opened up to the Echo after the game.

On the transfer front, Spanish newspaper AS Diario reports that Liverpool have joined Sunderland in the race to sign highly-rated Real Betis goalkeeper Antonio Adan.

Adnan is under contract at Betis until June 2019, but is understood to have a £6million release clause.

Allardyce said to be keeping tabs on the keeper, with Liverpool looking for a possible replacement for ex-Sunderland stopper Simon Mignolet.

Mignolet’s position has come under threat after a series of erratic displays.
