Liverpool and Brazil number one Alisson Becker have set the record for the First shot-stopper to have won three Golden glove in one season. For club and country, Alisson has kept clean sheets in his last nine games.The 26-year old kept more clean sheets than any other goalkeeper in the Premier League with 21, despite Liverpool losing out on the title to eventual winners Manchester City by a lone point.
The Brazilian also kept more clean sheets than any other goalkeeper in this season's Champions League, helping them secure the sixth European trophy which meant Alisson had collected two Golden Glove awards and that tally has now been increased to three at the Copa America.
Host Brazil are yet to concede a goal in their five games thanks to his brilliant performance between the sticks, meaning Alisson will scoop the accolade at the end of the tournament regardless of the result against Peru in the final.
As such, Alisson is now the first goalkeeper in football history to win three separate Golden Glove awards in a single season.
Both Alisson and Virgil van Dijk have been the key men in the Reds' rapid rise to the top of the European football under Jurgen Klopp.
