Elliott scored the winner late on for the visitors but it was Alisson who was talked about the most after the home side had 27 shots on target and many of them were saved by the Brazilian keeper. ( pony88 ) 

Elliott said: “PSG created a lot of chances but thanks to this guy (Alisson) and the defenders, it was a very strong day defensively and it was down to me to score when the chance came. Thank goodness I scored.”

“Honestly, I can’t find the right words to describe his performance. He’s an incredible guy, the best in the world. He shows that in every game. He’s saved us a lot of games. Tonight was my chance to repay him. Without him, I don’t know what we would be like. Hopefully he can keep making saves like this and hopefully we can keep scoring goals.”
