Liverpool keeper Alisson ready to repeat West Brom heroics in trophy hunt

Liverpool goalkeeper Alisson Becker is happy to go forward whenever he's needed.

The Brazilian famously scored a late header to help Liverpool beat West Bromwich Albion last season, a result which turned out important in securing a third-place finish.

With the Reds still alive in the FA Cup, Champions League and Premier League, Alisson is ready to do what needs to help his team win.

"I think now if it's needed, it's clear that I'm going. Normally, it's the boss who decides if I go or not," said the Brazil international ahead of Wednesday's Champions League quarter-final second leg against Benfica.

"It was, against West Bromwich, at that time John [Achterberg] was the one who called me to go to the box. If they call me, I go. If not, no problem. We have enough players to score."

He added: "I hope that would not be necessary, but if it is needed, if it is the last time, yeah, we will try everything that we have to win the games."
