Klopp: If Giroud scores that, you say its a worldie!
Jurgen Klopp had plenty to see about Alisson's magic moment.
"It's the best goal I've ever seen scored by a goalkeeper! Striker's score like that," he told BBC. "If Olivier Giroud scores like that you say it's a worldie. It's a worldie! Wow!
"[Alisson's] our player, our boy and our brother. When he is suffering we are all suffering. It's hard in these moments. There are more important things than football but when football can deliver moments like this for him, and all the boys, and our fans, then football is the best thing for a few seconds than anything else out there."

Bartley: A one in 100 goal
Alisson opens up
Speaking to Sky Sports, Liverpool hero Alisson said: "I’m too emotional, this last month for everything that has happened with me and my family, but football is my life, I played since I can remember with my father. I hope he was here to see it, I’m sure he is celebrating with God at his side.
"Sometimes you are fighting and things aren’t happening. I’m really happy to help them because we fight together and have a strong goal to achieve the Champions League, because we have won it once and everything starts with qualification.
"So I can’t be more happy than I am now."
Alisson joins an elite club
With his goal, Alisson has become the sixth goalkeeper to score in the Premier League.
The others? Peter Schmeichel, Brad Friedel, Paul Robinson, Tim Howard and Asmir Begovic.
The first goalkeeper to ever score for Liverpool

Alisson in tears
The Liverpool goalkeeper is clearly emotional as he's in tears as team-mates and opponents alike congratulate the Brazilian.

It's all over! Liverpool have won!
West Brom 1 - 2 Liverpool
An absolutely incredible game as Liverpool somehow emerge with 2-1 win.
Alisson is somehow the matchwinner, with the goalkeeper's bullet header in teh dying moments saves Liverpool's season.
Football, huh?
GOAL LIVERPOOL! ALISSON!
They've done it, and it's ALISSON who provides the goal that may have just saved Liverpool's season!
In the last minute of stoppage time, Liverpool earn a corner and somehow, someway, it's Alisson that pops up with the goal with an incredible header to the far post!
Four minutes for Liverpool to find something

Another miss for Liverpool, who will rue all of tehse missed chances.
This time it is Wijnaldum, who curls a shot just inches away from the top corner.

Thiago just misses
Firmino fires wide!
Incredible work from Thiago to weave past several challenges before finding Firmino.
Today's Liverpool captain can't finish from the left side, though, as he fires just wide. Still about 15 minute left for Liverpool to try and find a goal.
West Brom nearly take the lead!
The ball is in the back of the net but it's offside! Phillips interferes with Alisson from an offside position, even though Bartley finishes from an onside position.
A lucky break for Liverpool.
Update: Jadon Sancho is very good at football
Having assisted both Dortmund goals, Sancho has reached the 20 assist mark yet again.

Chance for Salah!
Liverpool get out on the break and Salah gets a chance to add his second of the day.
Somehow, though, Johnstone not only gets a hand to it but catches it, so it remains 1-1 in the 58th minute.
2-0 to Dortmund
Make it 2-0 for Dortmund, as Marco Reus scored their second of the day.
With a win, Dortmund will seal a Champions League place for next season.
Mane scores... but the flag is up!
Liverpool seemingly find their second through Sadio Mane but the flag is up for offside.
Even so, an incredible ball from Salah to tee up the Senegalese star as Liverpool have come out strong to start the second half.

Goal for Dortmund!
Halftime: West Brom 1 - 1 Liverpool
Salah with his 22nd goal of the season midway through the second half, but Liverpool are still level thanks to Hal Robson-Kanu's opener for West Brom.
Still all to play for for the Reds, who likely need a win to keep their Champions League hopes alive.
A nasty cut
Kyle Bartley doesn't look so great, as he looks more like a boxer than football player currently.
The West Brom defender has blood spilling out just above his eye and is receiving treatment.
Raul responds to Zidane successor talk
Real Madrid legend Raul has responded to rumours that he could succeed Zinedine Zidane.
With the French icon set to step away this summer, Raul says Real Madrid is his "home", adding that he wants to stay on with the club no matter what.
Off the post!
Liverpool have certainly responded as they nearly got their second in a matter of minutes.
Firmino with the chance this time, but it smashes off the post.
GOAL SALAH!
Salah goes level with Kane in the Golden Boot race but, more importantly, the Egyptian brings Liverpool level.
Mane wins the ball in the box and plays it first time to Salah, who finishes with a lovely curler to the far post.
Score level at one apiece now as Liverpool still have hope of keeping their Champions League ambitions alive.
Premier League Pereira?
Only Harry Kane has contributed to a higher percentage of his team's goals than Matheus Pereira.
Will he head to the Championship with West Brom or will someone snag him this summer?
48.5% - Matheus Pereira has either scored or assisted 16 of West Brom's 33 Premier League goals this season (48.5%); only Harry Kane for Tottenham (55.6%) has been directly involved in a higher ratio for his side. Pivotal.
— OptaJoe (@OptaJoe) May 16, 2021
Mane just wide!
Robson-Kanu's first PL goal since...
To be fair, he has scored 14 in the Championship since then.
GOAL WEST BROM!
Liverpool are behind!
A goal from Hal Robson-Kanu in the 16th minute, and Liverpool are in trouble here. The West Brom forward is just barely onside and a great finish past Alisson to the far post.
Liverpool's injured list

Spurs boss Ryan Mason was full of praise for Dele Alli.
"Dele was my man of the match," he said on Sky Sports. "Its strange that centre-back gets it when his team concedes two (Conor Coady), but I'm not making those decisions, we all know how good Dele was. We were the better team and had the better individuals today."
Early chance for Liverpool
Captain Firmino
After scoring twice against Man Utd, Roberto Firmino has taken the armband for Liverpool, becoming the third Brazilian to start a match as captain for the club.
The other two? Lucas Leiva and Philippe Coutinho.

"Couple of mistakes. But a tough game. We have to analyse but I'm disappointed with the manner we conceded, too easy."
Dele on being back in the Spurs team
"I'm enjoying it. With players like this it is a joy to play," he told Sky Sports. "I'm just trying to express myself and have fun. Mentally I just want to go out there and help as much as we can.
"We know that if we are to win these games we have to work together, so I'm just trying to find rhythm and plays as much as I can."

FT: Tottenham 2-0 Wolves
3️⃣ points in the bag...
Goals from Harry Kane and Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg were enough to secure victory for Tottenham against Wolves, so European football remains on the table, for now. It was a routine victory in the end and Ryan Mason's side were totally dominant after taking the lead on the stroke of half-time. They have Aston Villa next on Wednesday before closing the curtain on the campaign away to Leicester City next Sunday.
Spurs looking to see it out...
It's still 2-0 at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium as Spurs look to see out a victory at home against Wolves. Ryan Mason has made a number of substitutions and with less than five minutes left, the clock is being wound down...
Mane backed for 'big performance'
Liverpool correspondent Neil Jones on the Diogo Jota injury, Sadio Mane coming in and Jurgen Klopp's captain choice.
"Not really much choice for Klopp given the injury to Jota, but I suspect Mane would have started anyway having been on the bench on Thursday. I'd be backing a big performance from him too, after all the fuss. Interesting that Firmino is captain, though he is the longest-serving player. I wonder how Mr Salah views that decision..."
Jota's season is over
Jurgen Klopp has confirmed that Diogo Jota won't play again for Liverpool this season thanks to the foot injury which has kept him out of this game.
Speaking to Sky Sports, Klopp said: "No good thing without a bad thing – so, we won at Manchester United but Diogo got something with the bone. Not too serious but serious enough to end the season. That’s it."
Goal and assist for Hojbjerg
1 - Pierre-Emile Højbjerg has scored and assisted in a Premier League game for the first time in his career, on what is his 145th appearance in the competition. Mix.

Liverpool XI: Alisson, Alexander-Arnold, Phillips, Williams, Robertson, Fabinho, Thiago, Jones, Mane, Salah, Firmino.
Two changes for Jurgen Klopp's side. With Diogo Jota out, Sadio Manes comes into the team, while Curtis Jones replaces Georginio Wijnaldum.

GOAL! ⚽️
Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg doubles Tottenham's advantage! The Denmark international showed great awareness to follow up on Gareth Bale's parried shot and it's 2-0 to Spurs. Sergio Reguilon demonstrated tremendous determination to win the ball from Ki-Jana Hoever in the build-up.
Jota OUT of West Brom vs Liverpool
Liverpool have confirmed that Diogo Jota will miss the game due to a foot injury he picked up against Manchester United.
Well, it's good news for Sadio Mane, at least... 👀
DOUBLE POST!
Wolves can count themselves very lucky! Dele Alli, who has been absolutely excellent today, robbed the ball from Joao Moutinho before laying on Harry Kane, whose shot came off the woodwork and Alli, following up, hit the woodwork again. Rui Patricio appears to have got a slight touch on Kane's shot. A sigh of relief for the visitors!
Wolves penalty appeal dismissed ❌
Early drama in the second half. The visitors are not happy with Martin Atkinson after the referee dismissed their appeals for a penalty. They felt Giovani Lo Celso fouled Fabio Silva in the box, but play was waved on.
Second half is under way!
Tottenham had 61 per cent possession in the first half, with 10 shots to Wolves' three. With a goal in the bag, they'll be eager to go and kill the game now.
Just how good is Harry Kane?
35 - Harry Kane has been directly involved in more Premier League goals than any other player this season (22 goals, 13 assists), with only Robert Lewandowski and Lionel Messi having a hand in more across the top five European leagues. Class.
— OptaJoe (@OptaJoe) May 16, 2021
Redknapp impressed by 'calm' Kane
Jamie Redknapp was purring when Harry Kane beat Rui Patricio to put Spurs ahead.
Speaking on Sky Sports, Redknapp said: "The right-back (Ki-Jana Hoever) was playing Kane onside and then it was complete panic from the Wolves defender and calmness from Harry Kane. It was brilliant. There was no panic, just brilliant forward play. Great players have more time than everyone else."
Kane is now out in front in the race for the Premier League Golden Boot with 22 goals.
HT: Tottenham 1-0 Wolves
GOAL! Kane fires Spurs in front
Chance for Son! ☀️
Tottenham's star man Heung-min Son has kept Rui Patricio on his toes with a decent effort after being laid on by a Harry Kane flick-on. The Portugal goalkeeper was equal to Son's shot though and it remains 0-0. Spurs have begun to impose themselves on the game a little bit. About five minutes until half-time.
Dazzling Dele Alli ⭐️
Dele Alli has drawn some praise for dazzling Leander Dendoncker with a nutmeg before setting up Harry Kane. It was a lovely piece of skill from a player who is undoubtedly flourishing again, but Kane's effort went wide.

"Hopefully we can have good news early," said Ole Gunnar Solskjaer on Harry Maguire's potential involvement. "But I will give him as long as it takes because he has shown his importance."

Disappointing stuff from Aston Villa
19 - Aston Villa have dropped 19 points from winning positions in 2021, the joint-most of any side in England's top four tiers along with Walsall and Wigan Athletic. They hadn't dropped a single point from a winning position this season before the turn of the year. Antagonist.
— OptaJoe (@OptaJoe) May 16, 2021
Palace come back to beat Villa
Crystal Palace did brilliantly to come from behind and defeat Aston Villa 3-2 at Selhurst Park. John McGinn fired the visitors ahead with a wonderfully struck shot from the edge of the box, but Christian Benteke cancelled it out. However, Anwar El Ghazi restored Villa's lead before half-time. Palace came out the hungrier in the second half though, with Wilfried Zaha hauling his side level before Tyrick Mitchell sent home the decisive winning goal.
GOAL! Palace go ahead!
Tyrick Mitchell has completed a sensational turnaround for Crystal Palace and they now lead 3-2 with just a few minutes to go.
A great moment for Mitchell, who scored his first goal for the club.

Napoli the victors in Florence
Another big win for Napoli is bad news for Juventus, especially if AC Milan get a positive result later this evening against Cagliari. Gennaro Gattuso's side triumphed 2-0 over La Viola, a result which sets them up nicely for their season ending match against Verona next weekend.

All eyes on La Liga 👀 🇪🇸
Of course, the most dramatic sequence today surely lies in Spain, where Real Madrid and Barcelona are chasing Atletico Madrid for La Liga glory.
Barca slipped up last time out when they drew 3-3 with Levante and there are now four points between them and league leaders Atletico, who continued winning ways.
Real are closest to their cross-town rivals on 78 points having won emphatically against Granada on Thursday.

The early kick-offs today came in Serie A and the Premier League.
Napoli are currently leading Fiorentina 2-0 with 10 minutes to go, while the second half is approaching the mid-way point in Crystal Palace vs Aston Villa, with Villa leading 2-1.
A wonderful John McGinn strike set Villa on their way before Christian Benteke equalised for Palace, but Anwar El Ghazi restored their lead.

Victory for Spurs today would see them move up to sixth following West Ham's draw against Brighton yesterday. For Wolves, meanwhile, a result will help them consolidate as they look to finish as high up the table as possible.
