The Brazilian's effort moved Liverpool to within a point of fourth-placed Chelsea with two Premier League games left.

An emotional Alisson Becker fought back tears after the goalkeeper's stoppage-time header clinched Liverpool's dramatic 2-1 win at West Brom.

The Brazil international glanced Trent Alexander-Arnold's corner past Sam Johnstone at the death to score a shock goal that moved the Reds to within a point of fourth-placed Chelsea with two Premier League games left.

Alisson dedicated his goal to his father, Jose Agostinho Becker, who drowned near his home in Brazil in February.

"I'm too emotional," Alisson told Sky Sports. "This last month for everything that happened with me, with my family, but football is my life, the places, everything I remember as a human being.

"With my father, I hope he was here to see it, but I'm sure he was seeing, with God at his side, celebrating."
