Liverpool goalkeeper Alisson Becker conceded his first Premier League goal in his side's 2-1 victory over Leicester City at the King Power Stadium last weekend.
The Brazil international joined the Reds in a world record fee of €62 million from AS Roma earlier this summer before.
His record however endured just a few days after Chelsea signed Kepa Arrizabalaga€80 million in a five year move from Athletic Bilbao.
Alisson's is known for his footwork but it failed him on Saturday, allowing Rachid Ghezzal to score in the game.

After the game on Saturday, a popular fan show 'The Anfield Wrap' has sent a warning to the 25-year-old.
Host Gareth Roberts asks: "The keeper does what many predicted he would do – dally on the ball, try to skin an attacking player.
"Are you worried by that or do you just think it’s one of them?"
And Reds supporter Dan confirmed his lack of concern about the goalkeeper’s error.
Despite firing a warning to the Brazilian, he did argue that it is still too early for fans to worry.
"I was having a conversation with my mate about it and he said there’s a lot worse things [Alisson] could do than to just get rid of everything tomorrow," he said
"At one point, he’s going to try and turn and someone’s going to be in front of him.
"The promising thing for me was straight after and for the rest of the game, he got rid of everything. He didn’t try to do it again.
"It’s almost like he’s got his fingers burnt a bit. We did all predict it was coming and it did come but it didn’t cost us.
"These can become things that aren’t in your control. If in the game you make mistakes, if it costs your career – like we’ve seen with Karius – there’s times where there’s no getting back from it.
"You almost get riddled with bad luck. We will talk about it as fans but it will get brushed aside and moved on.

"If he has two good games after this and it’s not a thing, we’re all going to have to cough!”
And the Anfield faithful were in agreement about their new number-one.
"I’m just glad the inevitable Alisson mistake happened in a game that we ended up winning," one wrote.
"I hope he’s just a little smarter from now on.”
Another added: "Alisson’s mistake might be a positive in that it will hopefully curb him from getting too carried away in possession.”
While a third simply said: “Alisson comical… once!”
NAIJ.com earlier reported that Liverpool have completed the signing of Brazilian goalkeeper Alisson Becker in what is regarded as the world's expensive deal for a goalkeeper.
Since the day Liverpool were beaten in the 2017/18 Champions League final where Loris Karius made a gaffe against Real Madrid, the Reds have been looking for a new stopper.
And the Anfield landlords have now gotten 25-year-old Brazil international and also confirmed the deal on their social media platform.
