Goalkeeper scores a stunning last-second goal to save Liverpool's season

• Liverpool's hopes of competing in the Champions League were saved by the most extraordinary goal.
• Goalkeeper Alisson Becker scored on a header off a corner kick in the final seconds to beat West Brom.
• The win pulls Liverpool within one point of Chelsea for a top-four spot in the Premier League.

Liverpool's hopes of playing Champions League soccer next season were kept alive by an unlikely hero on Sunday.

With just three matches left in the season and outside of the top four of the Premier League table heading into Sunday, Liverpool needed a win against West Brom to have a chance to steal a spot in the Champions League for the coming year.

With the game level 1-1 heading into its final moments, Liverpool pushed all-in, bringing goalkeeper Alisson Becker out of the net to provide an extra body on a corner kick in the waning seconds.

Alisson was left unmarked, and put a stunning header into the back of the net, giving Liverpool the much-needed 2-1 win and becoming the first keeper to score in club history in the process.

Here is the goal.

Replays showed that Alisson's goal was no fluke - the keeper had hit a perfectly placed header. Once he made contact, West Brom never had a chance of stopping it.

The play left manager Jürgen Klopp stunned on the sidelines.

With the win, Liverpool moves to 5th place in the Premier League, with matches against Burnley and Crystal Palace left on the schedule.

If they can win those two matches, and if Chelsea drops points to Leicester City or Aston Villa in one of their final two matches, the Reds will be back in the Champions League.
