Liverpool goalkeeping coach John Achterberg has revealed what he shouted to Alisson Becker before the Brazilian went up for a corner and scored a 95th minute winner against West Brom.
Alisson produced one of the most memorable moments of the season as he scored the first goal of his professional career on Sunday.
The goalkeeper decided to go up for a corner with the game tied at 1-1, and fired a header into the top of the goal to seal a valuable three points for the Reds.
Alisson admitted after the game that he didn't know if he'd be allowed to go up for the corner until Achterberg called him up.
And speaking to the club website on Monday, the goalkeeping coach confirmed he decided to throw caution to the wind after noting that the corner would be the last kick of the game.
Achterberg said: “My reaction was like everyone else’s – jumping around like mad, last minute, winning goal, that’s how it is!
“You’re just so happy for him to do it but also for the team.
"We kept fighting, creating chances but not scoring them.
"The opponent made it difficult for us, so you have to find a way to overcome it. Ninety-fourth minute and nothing to lose…
“I looked at my watch, 94, and I thought it was going to be the last kick of the game, we needed to win, so I shouted, ‘Get up, get in the box!’ to him!
"I didn’t see Ali looking to the bench to see if he should go up before I shouted; I just thought we had nothing to lose and we needed to put everything into the box we had.
“The technique… he is natural in everything he does, playing and heading. It was a great finish.”
Liverpool's win was vital in their push towards the top four, and Klopp's side should be able to sneak into a Champions League spot if they win their final two games of the campaign.
