Twitter explodes as Alisson Becker scores winner in ridiculous Liverpool win over West Brom.
Liverpool settled an exciting 2-1 victory over stubborn West Brom thanks to a wondrous header from Alisson Becker in the 95th minute to give Liverpool a decisive victory in the top 4 race.
Hal Robson-Kanu put West Brom ahead with a well-taken goal in the 15th minute while Mohamed Salah equaled with a remarkable strike in the 33rd minute. Roberto Firmino and Sadio Mane both fumbled clear opportunities in the first half and the teams went into the break at 1-1.
Liverpool, as expected, controlled the ball and had lots of control but they failed to tame a persistent West Brom defense. The Reds started getting more frustrated and it looked like they would have to settle for just one point.
West Brom in fact had a goal ruled out for offside as they advanced to break the tie whenever they got a set-piece. Alisson Becker, before making the difference on the scoring end, even had to make an incredible save to deny Robson Kanu in the second half.
Liverpool threw on Shaqiri and Wijnaldum to make a distinction in the second half. Wijnaldum did get into some good situations and caused the West Brom defense some difficulties with his running and energy. However, he lacked the finishing touch and was guilty of squandering a golden opportunity created by Mohamed Salah.
