Liverpool goalkeeper Alisson Becker has underlined the key elements the Reds must focus on to secure the Premier League title this season.

The Reds have enjoyed a stellar campaign so far, sitting nine points clear at the top of table after the 2-0 win against Bournemouth, along with the with a strong defensive record and an attacking unit firing on all cylinders.

On Liverpool's performance, speaking to Sky Sports post-match Alisson said: "It’s a great result that we have here away from home. We showed great desire, mentality and great quality to finish the situations that we created. Bournemouth are really intense.

"If you look to the data, they are the top of the table for running, intensity - the way they play, they're aggressive. You have to be focused and really sharp in every situation. Marking, they never let a player turn or receive the ball free so you have to be focused, really sharp in every situation when you have the ball, try to create, move a lot, so this intensity takes a lot of energy for you to win this kind of game."

The 32-year-old added: “But to be honest, the Premier League is in a high standard this season, all the teams they are giving troubles to the top six in the league. All the games we play from now on, they show real desire, they want to take points from the bigger clubs, and we have to keep on going with this spirit.

"Game by game, step by step, thinking on the next challenge that we have and we are going to see where we finish the season.”

Liverpool secured their 10th clean sheet of the season, with Alisson producing outstanding saves to deny a Bournemouth side that had netted nine times in their previous two Premier League outings.
