THE keeper's up!

Liverpool's goalie Alisson rescued the Reds with a dramatic late-winner against West Brom in the 95th minute to keep their hopes up for a top four finish.

The Brazilian, 28, became the sixth goalkeeper to score in the Premier League after netting with a soaring header.

But who else managed to find the back of the net after coming out of goal?

Here are the five who did it before.

Peter Schmeichel, 2001

Post Manchester United, the Great Dane kept sticks for Aston Villa in his twilight years.

And even though he was carrying a thigh injury, that didn't stop Schmeichel coming up for a corner in stoppage time in a game against Everton.

Incredibly, after Steve Staunton's corner broke for him at the far post he was able to volley the ball home.

In doing so, he became the first No1 to score in the Prem, but it wasn't enough to rescue his side from losing 3-2.

Brad Friedel, 2004

The ex-Liverpool shot-stopper managed the same feat in similar circumstances as Schmeichel three years later – but in more dramatic circumstances.

With his Blackburn team trailing Charlton 2-1, the American arrived in the penalty box to distract opposition defenders.

The ball somehow cannoned to him,and he stuck out a left foot to deflect the ball into the net for an equaliser in the 90th minute.

Astonishingly, Charlton won the game 3-2 with a Claus Jensen goal in stoppage time.

Paul Robinson, 2007

Look away, Ben Foster.

When Spurs star Paul Robinson had a free kick on the left of his penalty box, his plan clearly was just to knock it long and aim for his centre forward.

However, the ball took a weird bounce over a poorly positioned Foster and into the goal up the other end.

Afterwards Watford boss Adrian Boothroyd said: "I've never seen anything like that before to be honest, but it's a freak goal and Ben Foster will bounce back and fulfil his potential as one of the best keepers in England."

Tim Howard, 2012

Anything Robinson can do, Tim Howard can do better.

The ex-Everton goalie received a pass back, launching a long ball forward from his own area.

The wind at Goodison played a huge part – carrying the ball 101 yards, via another awkward bounce over a hapless Adam Bogdan in the Bolton goal.

Howard didn't celebrate the goal, and when the final whistle went said: "It's not nice, it's embarrassing, so I felt for Adam."

Asmir Begovic, 2013

The last goalie to score in the Premier League before Alisson was Begovic eight years ago.

And it was another embarrassing moment for his fellow No1 – Artur Boruc.

The Bosnian launched the ball forward after it passed back to him, while playing for Stoke against Southampton.

His clearance carried to the Pole's box, only to bounce over Boruc, and into an empty goal.
