Jürgen Klopp smiled when he talked about his part in this spectacular goal: “My part in the goal was that I didn't tell him to stay behind.

I let him go. ”The coach of Liverpool FC, who is usually never at a loss for a few words, was silent at the right moment and was rewarded.

Because the one he didn't stop from running forward was goalkeeper Alisson Becker.

And so it came about that he appeared in the opponent's penalty area at the English Premier League game and scored Liverpool's 2-1 winner at West Bromwich Albion late.

    He didn't do it by accident, but in a way that even the best strikers rarely manage.

    After a Trent Alexander-Arnold corner, Alisson Becker stood at the first post, leaned back slightly and let the technically demanding header fly into the far corner.

    "It's the best goal I've seen from a goalkeeper," Klopp told the BBC.

    "What a goal.

    Incredible.

    His technique is absolutely insane.

    The ball couldn't have hit a better player at a better moment.

    When Olivier Giroud (Chelsea FC striker and world champion, the editorial team) scores such a goal, it's called world class.

    Wow!"

    "I couldn't be happier"

    It was emotional for the goal scorer. "Sometimes I practice headers in training - for fun," said the Brazilian on Sky: "I couldn't be happier than now." In February, his father died unexpectedly. “I hope he was here to see this. I'm sure he's celebrating with God by his side, ”said Alisson Becker, who became the first goalkeeper in Liverpool history to score in a competitive game since 1892. “When he suffers, we all suffer. There are more important things than football, but if football can deliver moments like this, then it's the best there is for a few seconds, ”said Klopp.

    The 2: 1 at the relegated from West Brom preserved Liverpool's chance for the Champions League. Two game days before the end of the season it is only one point to Chelsea in fourth place and only three to Leicester City in third place. So the Premier League is facing an exciting finish. Hal Robson-Kanu surprisingly gave West Bromwich the lead, Mohamed Salah equalized. Then it took a long time for Alisson Becker to make his grand entrance. Klopp couldn't get enough of it: "We have already looked at the goal ten times in the dressing room," he said a few minutes after the final whistle.
