Alexis Mac Allister has arguably been the best player in the Premier League in 2024 and his latest heroics earned Liverpool a vital three points against Sheffield United on Thursday evening.

With the score level at 1-1, Jurgen Klopp’s side were at risk of dropping crucial points in the Premier League title race until Mac Allister stepped up.

The 2022 World Cup winner is known for his long-distance shooting and he displayed immense technique to launch a stunning effort right into the top corner to restore Liverpool’s advantage in the 76th minute.

It was Mac Allister’s sixth goal of the season and he has now scored or assisted in each of Liverpool’s past six matches.

No Reds midfielder has achieved that feat since Steven Gerrard in 2013.

Alexis Mac Allister: The Premier League’s Player of the Year?

The former Brighton & Hove Albion midfielder has become an integral player at Anfield and he has arguably been the signing of the season. Cole Palmer, Phil Foden and Declan Rice are worthy competitors, but Mac Allister deserves a mention and his stock will rise even further if he helps Liverpool win just their second ever Premier League title.

Furthermore, he will likely be in the running to win the PFA Player of the Year award after a sensational first campaign at Anfield.

His close control and passing ability has elevated Liverpool’s ceiling to another level and he has been a vast upgrade on Fabinho and Jordan Henderson, both of whom left the club last summer.

Mac Allister was heralded as a bargain buy when Liverpool snatched him up for a measly initial fee of €42 million and while that figure will rise will add-on clauses, he has proven to be worth every penny with his performances this season.

With telling contributions in the final third combined with all-round excellence, Klopp has found his version of Ilkay Gundogan and it could help Liverpool to Premier League glory.
