Luckily for Alisson, his lack of beard didn’t prove to be a bad omen.
His Brazilian pal Roberto Firmino gave the hosts the lead just six minutes into the game.
Alisson has been included in Brazil’s squad for the World Cup, which gets underway a week tomorrow, while Firmino missed out.
Southampton levelled just three minutes later in Nathan Jones’ first game as boss.
But a Darwin Nunez brace saw the Reds go into the break 3-1 to the good.
