With his stunning winner at West Brom on Sunday, Liverpool's Alisson Becker joined an exclusive list of five other goalkeepers who have scored an English Premier League goal.

Alisson came up for a corner in the dying embers of the game and somehow managed to connect sweetly with a Trent Alexander-Arnold delivery, giving Liverpool a 2-1 win at the Hawthorns. 

Other goalkeepers to achieve the incredible, rare feat include Manchester United legend Peter Schmeichel, who did it for Aston Villa in 2001, Blackburn's Brad Friedel in 2004, Spurs' Paul Robinson in 2007, Everton's Tim Howard in 2012, and Stoke's Asmir Begovic.

Alisson said afterwards in an emotional post match interview that he wished his late father, who died in February this year, was alive to see it.
