Deep into injury time at the Hawthorns and with the score locked at 1-1, Liverpool looked set to suffer a potentially fatal blow to their hopes of securing Champions League football next season after being frustrated by the already-relegated hosts. 

But marching up the pitch for a Trent Alexander-Arnold corner, Reds keeper Alisson rose at the near post to guide a brilliant glancing header into the net.

Jurgen Klopp could barely believe his eyes on the touchline while Alisson was mobbed by his teammates in the opposition box. 

The Brazilian burst into tears at the final whistle, and later spoke of his emotions during a season in which he lost his father to a tragic drowning accident in his homeland. 

"I'm too emotional," said the 28-year-old star.
