The entire Liverpool team surrounded their unlikely hero before Alisson, whose father died earlier this year, emerged to point to the skies. Alisson heads home an extraordinary winner for Liverpool in the final minute. On his first Premier League start of the season, it was the Wales striker’s first league goal since February of last year. This put the Egyptian equal with Kane, in the sub-plot of the Premier League’s golden-boot chase, and Liverpool level. It was frantic, exhilarating for the neutral, but felt like the last few minutes of a cup game, not midway through a match between the last Premier League champions and next season’s Championship promotion hopefuls.
