Liverpool goalie Alisson Becker saved his team’s season on Sunday, not by saving a shot on his own goal but by scoring a goal against West Brom in the the 94th minute with a beautiful header that left everyone in awe.
Liverpool needed a win Sunday over West Brom to stay in contention of finishing in the top four of the English Premier league. A tie would have ended those hopes.
So with just a little bit of time left in the game, Becker came up in the attack on a corner kick and was able to provide the heroics and become the first goalie in Liverpool history to a score goal.
Alisson: "I dunno how to celebrate. Hopefully I don't need to come so many times to the box to score a goal. Hopefully my players will do that for me." [Sky]
I've seen keepers score goals on occasion, but never for @LFC and never with so much on the line. Suffice it to say, if our new neighbors didn't know how passionate I am about Liverpool before, they do now.#WBALIV#YNWA#bananapantshttps://t.co/eqA7eRwDO2

After Mo Salah registered a hat trick performance for Liverpool against Leeds United, Steve Kerr chimed in on Twitter.
While the NBA is inching closer to the later stages of the postseason, another league opened its season across the pond. On Sunday, the English Premier League kicked off their 2020-21 campaign with a slate of football games.
In the first match of their Premiership title defense, the defending English champions Liverpool hosted the newly promoted Leeds United.
Liverpool’s match cracked off with a scoring bonanza. Three goals were scored in the first 20 minutes of the game, with one coming off the foot of Mohamed Salah in the fourth minute. Salah piped a penalty kick goal into the back of the net after a handball was ruled against Leeds in the box.
The Egyptian footballer then drilled a dazzling shot into the top right corner of the net in the 33rd minute to give the Reds a 3-2 advantage before halftime. Salah capped off his performance against Leeds with a game-winning penalty kick in the 88th minute. A hat trick from the former Golden Boot winner notched three points for Liverpool on their opening day win, 4-3.
On Twitter, longtime Liverpool fanSteve Kerr chimed in on social media to respond to Salah’s performance. The Golden State Warriors coach shared a gif featuring the Liverpool striker on Twitter.
With the Warriors in the early stages of an extended offseason, Kerr will have plenty of time to watch Liverpool defend their English Premier League banner.
In their next title defense fixture, Liverpool will host Chelsea on Sunday at 8:30 A.M. PT.

When sports recently started coming back I was pretty excited – mostly because I love watching sports on TV and also because it has brought back some much-needed normalcy to our lives while we continue to battle a very deadly global pandemic.
But I have to be honest – I was a bit skeptical about how the viewing experience on TV would be with no fans inside arenas, stadiums, golf courses, etc.
And you know what? It’s been pretty great. Much greater than I had expected and, dare I say, just as enjoyable as ever. Part of that, however, might be because we’ve all been so desperate for sports since the world hit pause on just about everything back in March.
Now I’m not stupid – sports are always better when a packed crowd is attendance and going nuts during big moments. The atmosphere created by fans raises the intensity and enjoyment of the event that you’re watching. That’s pretty obvious.
But right now, during a time where we need to be grateful to just have sports back, things are pretty good for us TV viewers.
I’ve watched some EPL matches and have enjoyed the piped in crowd noises of songs and chants that aren’t actually happening in the moment.
I’ve enjoyed watching UFC championship fights held in very quiet and empty arenas. I’ve found that viewing experience has allowed you to hear things you wouldn’t have heard before – the sound of kicks and punches landing and the desperate pleas from the fighters’ corners. The intensity of these fights and what’s at stake haven’t been hindered all that much.
I’m a big golf guy and have loved the broadcasts of the recent events that the PGA Tour has held. It’s so nice to not hear someone yell “GET IN THE HOLE!” after a tee shot on a par 5. It was also cool as hell to see Tiger Woods playing with no fans in sight last week at the Memorial.
I’ve watched some baseball – which had huge ratings over the weekend – and didn’t really notice any loss in not hearing crowds cheering during big moments. Heck, I even enjoyed the piped in fan noise during a Dodgers scrimmage.
The NBA, which shared good news Monday when it announced there were zero new positive COVID-19 tests inside the bubble, is going to be such a fascinating watch with no fans in the arena. We’re going to hear things we’ve never heard in those games and we’re also going to just be able to watch the best players balling out as hard as they can in a setting that we’ve never seen before. I’m gonna be all in on that.
The NFL also had some good news Monday as the league and the NFLPA reached an agreement on daily testing that the players desperately and correctly called for over the weekend. Football faces the biggest challenge of a safe return but if we do indeed get a season I’m now more excited than before about seeing how these games play out with nobody in the stadiums, or maybe even a limited amount of fans in some stadiums.
The main thing with all of this, of course, is the health and safety of those playing these sports. A lot of athletes are putting a lot on the line by even attempting to get these games in and I respect and understand any players who opt out due to health concerns.
Anything right now just seems like a bonus for us fans, who don’t have to risk anything by watching.
But as I watch these games and events there is no real strain to try to create added enthusiasm just because nobody is in the stands.
It’s actually been fun, which is a feeling none of us have really been experiencing the past four months or so.
Leicester City will welcome Sheffield United to the King Power Stadium on Thursday hoping to get back to their winning ways, stream it here.
Leicester City will take on Sheffield United at the King Power Stadium on Thursday night. Leicester is currently holding the number four spot after winning only one of their six matches since Premier League restarted.
Sheffield is coming off back to back victories but still in the eighth position as of now.
This is a huge game for both sides, Leicester has struggled since coming back from the pause and only two victories have come at home since February. This would be the game for them to bounce back and show some confidence in that top-four spot.
Premier League Lineups
Leicester City possible starting lineup:
Schmeichel; Albrighton, Bennett, Evans, Justin; Ndidi; Perez, Praet, Tielemans, Barnes; Vardy
Sheffield United possible starting lineup:
Henderson; Basham, Egan, O’Connell; Baldock, Berge, Norwood, Osborne, Stevens; McBurnie, McGoldrick

Manchester City will host Newcastle United on Wednesday at Etihad Stadium, City will be looking to add some more points to help secure that second-place spot. Newcastle has been very impressive all while putting a six-game unbeaten streak together and staying out of the relegation.
Manchester City will look to get back to their winning ways today after losing to Southampton this past weekend. They need the points to stay ahead of Chelsea who is only six points out of second place. Newcastle’s great form should bode well in this match but City could hit the net early and Newcastle might not have enough power to compete.
Manchester City possible starting lineup:
Ederson; Walker, Otamendi, Laporte, Mendy; De Bruyne, Rodri, Gundogan; Foden, Jesus, Sterling
Newcastle United possible starting lineup:
Dubravka; Yedlin, Fernandez, Lascelles, Schar, Rose; Ritchie, Bentaleb, Shelvey, Lazaro; Joelinton

Tottenham Hotspur will be looking to bounce back after a devastating 3-1 loss to Sheffield United. They welcome eleventh-place Everton on Monday, who are only one point behind the Spurs. Everton is coming off a solid 2-1 win over number three Leicester City.
Tottenham has the talent to beat anybody in the league but they’ve been having some issues with consistency of late. After beating Leicester City last game out Everton has been playing very well and wouldn’t be surprised to see them put up some goals on an inconsistent Spurs club.

Lloris; Aurier, Sanchez, Alderweireld, Davies; Sissoko, Lo Celso; Bergwijn, Alli, Son; Kane
