Alexis Mac Allister provided two assists for Liverpool in their 4-1 win vs. Luton on matchday 26 of the Premier League.
Luton surprised Liverpool at Anfield by going 1-0 up into half-time, but the Argentine World Cup champion was crucial in his team’s comeback.
In the 56th minute, Mac Allister put a precise ball into Virgil van Dijk’s head from a corner kick, who equalized for the Reds. Only two minutes later, the former Brighton player received the ball from the right side and crossed it in again, but this time to Cody Gakpo’s head, who made it 2-1 for Liverpool. The Argentine received an 8.3 Sofascore rating.
Take a moment and enjoy the full two minute sequence between Van Dijk’s equalizer and Gakpo’s go-ahead goal.
