Alzate: I'm not sure if it's my goal but I'll take it

Steven Alzate wasn't sure if he got the last touch on the goal that secured all three points at Liverpool on Wednesday, but he is happy to take the credit.

A first win against the Reds since 1984 lifted Albion up to 15th in the Premier League and Alzate's delight was matched by his euphoric teammates.

“I am not sure if it's my goal, but I will take it!” Alzate said. “It's my first Premier League goal, I've got to take it.

“It's a big result. In the last few games we've been getting decent results and this has been coming. We've been playing well since the beginning of the season, but luck hasn't always been falling our way.

“It's not easy going to Liverpool of course - they're the champions for a reason - but we stuck to our game plan and it worked.

“We said before the game that we have got to respect our opponents, but we wanted to press from the beginning and not give them too much time on the ball.

“Obviously when you go 1-0 up, the team that have gone a goal down are going to try and get on top but we worked our socks off to keep a clean sheet.”

It was a club record fourth successive Premier League shut-out for Graham Potter's men.

“The Premier League isn't easy, picking up points especially against a team like Liverpool is difficult.

“But the challenge now is to keep going and pick up as many points as we can. We'll enjoy this win and then focus on Saturday and another tough game at Burnley.”
