Alisson was the star of the show for Liverpool yesterday, as the Brazilian goalkeeper scored the winner against West Bromwich Albion.

The Brazil international goalscorer planted a wonderful header into the back of the net at The Hawthorns.

The goal came in the fifth minute of injury time, and saw Liverpool complete a 2-1 comeback victory over already-relegated West Brom in the Premier League game.

The header from Alisson kept Liverpool in the running for the Premier League top four this season.

Sammy Lee is a Liverpool legend, but on Sunday afternoon, he was in the West Brom dugout.

The 62-year-old is the assistant head coach to Sam Allardyce at West Brom.

According to BBC Sport (18:29), after the match, Lee gave a hug to Alisson, who was very emotional following his heroics.

It was remarkable to see Alisson, a goalkeeper, score a header like Olivier Giroud.

West Brom were controversially denied a goal, and it must have been tough for Lee and the rest of the Baggies’ coaching staff to concede a last-minute goal and lose the game.

That’s why it was such a nice gesture for Lee to hug and congratulate Alisson for what could be the moment of the season in the Premier League.
