GOALKEEPER Alisson Becker headed a dramatic stoppage-time winner at West Bromwich Albion on Sunday to keep Liverpool’s Champions League hopes alive.

Just as the Reds’ top-four chances looked virtually over, the Brazil international glanced in Trent Alexander-Arnold’s corner in the fifth minute of added time to clinch a 2-1 win.

Mohamed Salah had earlier canceled out Hal Robson-Kanu’s first top-flight goal for almost four years. Roberto Firmino hit the post and Sadio Mane had a goal disallowed for offside as relegated Albion gave as good as the side got. Kyle Bartley saw his goal ruled out as the Baggies nearly caused an upset before Alisson’s late heroics.

Alisson became the sixth goalkeeper to score in the Premier League, following in the footsteps of Peter Schmeichel, Brad Friedel, Paul Robinson, Tim Howard and Asmir Begovic.

Jurgen Klopp’s men trail fourth-placed Chelsea by one point and Leicester by three, with two league games left to play.

But with Leicester and Chelsea still to face off in a repeat of the FA Cup final, which the Foxes won 1-0 Saturday, victories over Burnley and Crystal Palace will take Liverpool into the top four.

Tottenham strengthened its European qualification hopes with a 2-0 win over Wolves, which moved the side into the top six.

Harry Kane opened the scoring with a goal that advanced his chances of winning the Premier League Golden Boot and Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg doubled the lead after the break.

It was Kane’s 22nd goal of the season and he is level with Salah in the race for a prize he has won twice before, while he also hit the post twice.(SD-Agencies)
