Goalkeeper Alisson scores sensational last-minute winner
Alisson, 28, was in tears after the full-time whistle and gave an emotional interview to Sky Sports, where he paid tribute to his father who died in February after falling into a lake near his holiday home in Lavras do Sul, Brazil.The Reds keeper came up from the back and brilliantly guided Trent Alexander-Arnold's cross into the far corner, sparking jubilant scenes amongst the visitors at the Hawthorns.
'I'm too emotional. These last months, everything that happened with me, with my family,' he said.'Football is my life. I hoped my father was here to see it but I'm sure he's celebrating.'Scoring this goal, I'm really, really happy to help the team because we fight a lot together. We have a strong goal to achieve the Champions League because we won it once and everything starts with the qualification.
'I tried to look at the bench and nobody called me. Then Johnny (Achterberg) called me with conviction. It was the perfect cross. I think it was one of the best goals I've scored.'I've been away from interviews for a long time because always when I talk about it I get emotional. I want to thank everybody, all the Premier League. I received letters from Everton, Carlo Ancelotti, Manchester City. I want to say thank you to everybody.
'If it wasn't for you I couldn't get through this. This is the way God loves us, through people. The celebration, I don't know how to celebrate. Hopefully I don't need to come so many times to the box to score a goal.'
