The former Tottenham keeper, who is currently on the books at Watford, considers the £65 million goalkeeper to be better than his Premier League rival

Liverpool goalkeeper Alisson is “more complete” than Manchester City rival Ederson, according to Heurelho Gomes, a fellow Brazilian of the Premier League pair.

A 38-year-old with 11 Brazil caps to his name, who is still playing in the Premier League at Watford, told BBC Sport of two elite custodians: “Alisson is a very good shot-stopper but he can also play very well with his feet which is important for the way Liverpool play.

“I believe he is a complete goalkeeper, that’s why he is playing for Liverpool.

“To be honest, they are both similar players.

“At the moment Alisson [is better] because I believe he’s more complete than Ederson.”

As things stand, Ederson and City have moved back to the top of the Premier League table following a 2-0 victory over Fulham.
