Liverpool needed a hero against West Bromwich Albion – and up stepped Alisson.

The Reds were drawing 1-1 in injury time as Mohamed Salah had cancelled out Hal Robson-Kanu’s first-half opener.

Liverpool needed the win in order to push for the top four, and it looked like they had run out of time and ideas.

Up came goalkeeper Alisson for a last-gasp corner, and he remarkably headed home Trent Alexander-Arnold’s corner to seal a 2-1 win for Liverpool.

The Brazilian joined an exclusive list of goalkeepers to score in the Premier League, and Liverpool fans have been absolutely buzzing ever since the ball hit the back of the net.

Alisson has received messages from a host of teammates since scoring, and former Reds are even sending him congratulations.

Defender Dejan Lovren played with Alisson at Liverpool before being sold to Zenit St Petersburg last season, but he hasn’t forgotten about Alisson or the Reds.

Lovren tweeted ‘amazing my friend’ to Alisson, showing his appreciation for the goalkeeper as he made the headlines with an unbelievable goal.
