Alexis McAllister’s stunning goal broke Liverpool’s eight-year scoring record.
Alexis McAllister’s long-range goal against Fulham broke an eight-year-old record at Anfield.
The summer signing scored his first goal in a red shirt in the Premier League in a 4-3 win over the Cottagers, giving Liverpool a second before the break.
Mc Allister’s early strike was not in vain as late goals from Wataru Endo and Trent Alexander-Arnold resulted in late goals from Wataru Endo and Trent Alexander-Arnold.
The Reds pulled off a stunning comeback win on Sunday afternoon to take all three points.
Mac Allister’s Liverpool debut goal was truly beautiful. As the ball bounced towards him, the Argentine crossed the ball with his body before firing a fine effort into the top corner from distance.
Bernd Leno was powerless to stop McAllister’s sublime strike. It was a goal he and the Anfield crowd will remember for some time.
The World Cup winner inadvertently broke the record he and his world partner had held at Anfield for eight years.Opta’s Michael Reid wrote on social media: “Alexis McAllister’s goal was 26.8 meters – the longest goal since Divock Origi scored his first Premier League goal for Liverpool against West Brom in December 2015 (32.5 meters).
Origi’s long-range effort earned Liverpool a 2-2 draw at home to West Brom in Jurgen Klopp’s first season on Merseyside.
Mc Allister’s strike was a far better finish than Origi’s and the midfielder would probably have won December’s Premier League Goal of the Month award.
