Sam Allardyce has admitted he ‘never got over’ Alisson’s last-minute winner against his West Brom side - boasting that he has an otherwise good record against the ‘fantastic’ Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp.
The Reds goalkeeper sealed a memorable 2-1 victory back in May 2021, glancing home a 95th-minute corner with a deft header at an empty Hawthorns. That infamous win in the Midlands helped Klopp’s side snatch an unlikely Champions League place after a season torn apart by defensive injuries.
Liverpool boss Klopp has only won three of his eight meetings with Allardyce, drawing four and losing once - a 2-1 defeat at Anfield thanks to a Christian Benteke brace for Crystal Palace. But while the former Everton manager boasted an impressive record against his German counterpart, he admitted that a ‘fantastic’ Klopp is among the best in the world - and that he still hasn’t got over that Alisson winner.
