Premier League: Alisson Becker scores winner as Liverpool down West Brom; Tottenham climb to sixth
FirstpostJurgen Klopp’s men would have needed favours from Leicester and Chelsea in their final two games of the campaign had they failed to beat the already relegated Baggies. London: Goalkeeper Alisson Becker’s dramatic 95th-minute goal gave Liverpool a 2-1 victory at West Bromwich Albion on Sunday to maintain their bid to play in next season’s Champions League. For me, the only reason for those kind of things is God and he put his hand on my head today and I’m feeling really blessed.” Liverpool were stunned when Robson-Kanu, making his first league start of the season for Albion, put the hosts ahead in the 15th minute after he ran onto Matheus Pereira’s pass and found the bottom corner at the Hawthorns. Hojbjerg made it 2-0 just after the hour when he followed up as Gareth Bale’s shot was parried by Rui Patricio as Spurs bolstered their hopes of at least playing Europa League football next season. Leicester’s FA Cup triumph means seventh place will also be good enough for a place in the new Europa Conference League next season.
