PARIS - After Alisson Becker headed in a 94th minute winner for Liverpool against West Brom on Sunday his manager Jurgen Klopp declared: It s the best goal I ve ever seen scored by a goalkeeper!
Becker has some competition for that prize.
Plenty of goalkeepers have scored with a spectacular punt from their own penalty area.
Some, like Brazilian Rogerio Ceni, who scored more than 130 goals in his career, or Jose Luis Chilavert and Rene Higuita, were dead ball specialists.
For most goalkeepers the chance only comes when the situation is dire and time running out and desperate coaches wave their goalies forward, as the Liverpool bench did on Sunday.
