Alisson Becker became the first goalkeeper to find the back of the net for the Reds after the Brazilian headed home an all-important match-winner against West Brom.
Liverpool had huffed and puffed for 94 minutes but had been unable to get ahead of their hosts at any point.
Jurgen Klopp’s men came from behind in the first half when Mohamed Salah slotted home his 22nd Premier League goal of the season.
But with time running out in a must-win clash to keep their top-four destiny in their own hands, Alisson came forwards for a corner in dying embers.
Remarkably the 28-year-old rose highest and expertly headed a pinpoint effort beyond Sam Johnstone to send his teammates and those watching on into a frenzy.
Such a moment needs little improvement, however, impassioned footage has emerged on Twitter via Chant LFC of how the goal was captured in the stoppers homeland Brazil.

Alisson became just the sixth goalkeeper to score in the Premier League era and the first to net a winner.
An extraordinary moment that has kept Liverpool’s top-four hopes alive as Klopp’s men prepare to face Burnley on Wednesday before a final day clash with Crystal Palace on Sunday.

Whilst nobody could’ve predicted what transpired – there are few players Kopites would rather have headed home such a vital winner.
Given the off and on-field tribulations suffered this season, the Brazilian gave an emotional post-match interview – endearing himself to the wider footballing world in the process.
Just soak up that moment, they don’t come along too often.
