ALEXIS MAC ALLISTER looks more of a bargain with each week as he saved Liverpool yet again to keep their title bid on track.
Liverpool were heading towards a damaging draw against bottom club Sheffield United before Mac Allister fired home a thunderbolt 14 minutes from time to settle this nervy clash.
His fourth goal in his last six games took Liverpool back to the top of the Premier League above Arsenal, heading into Sunday's showdown with Manchester United at Old Trafford.
Chuck in three assists with those goals and Mac Allister is driving on Liverpool's bid for a 20th title in Jurgen Klopp's final season.
Liverpool paid Brighton just an initial £35million for Mac Allister in the summer and he is in red-hot form. He created Mo Salah's winner against Brighton on Sunday with a quick, slide-rule pass and he dug Liverpool out of another hole last night.
The Blades' massed ranks almost frustrated them and they cancelled out Darwin Nunez's opener through a Conor Bradley own goal.
