Liverpool maintains its aspirations to qualify for the next Champions League . In the final stretch of the championship, all players must give an extra to achieve the objectives, such was the case of goalkeeper Allison Becker, who scored the winning goal in the last minute of the game.

It was the last play of the engagement, which was tied to one goal between “Los Reds” and the West Bromwich Albion , so goalkeeper Becker was in the box when Liverpool had a corner kick in his favor.
Equality seriously compromised the options of remaining in the fight for the positions that grant a place to the next Champions League. That is why the Brazilian’s presence in the West Bromwich area made sense. The surprise of players and coaching staff was when Becker connected with his head to the center and scored the winning goal.
According to the football statistics account, Alisson is the first goalkeeper in the club’s history, which was founded in 1892, to score a goal in an official match.
