# Liverpool: Fans poke fun at Alisson after seeing footage of Neil Mellor’s 2004 winner against Arsenal

**Liverpool yesterday posted a video on their official Twitter account [@LFC](https://twitter.com/LFC/status/1200016234764484608) of a memorable goal scored by Neil Mellor at Anfield 15 years ago.**

On November 28th, 2004, the striker hit a superb 30-yard volley in stoppage time to secure a 2-1 win for the Reds over Arsenal, who were the defending Premier League champions at the time. \[[via BBC](https://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/eng_prem/4028103.stm)\]

He would play just [22 times](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/neil-mellor/leistungsdatenverein/spieler/3605) for Liverpool’s first team and was forced to retire in 2012 at the age of just 29 after suffering a serious knee injury, as per [BBC](https://www.bbc.com/sport/football/18011092).

Mellor, who now works as a [pundit for Sky Sports](https://twitter.com/NeilMellor33), met with current Reds goalkeeper Alisson earlier this week to record an interview for *Gillette Soccer Saturday*.

He posted on his Twitter profile [@NeilMellor33](https://twitter.com/NeilMellor33/status/1199387953950273541?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1199387953950273541&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.90min.com%2Fposts%2F6506659-neil-mellor-remembering-liverpool-s-one-hit-wonder-who-scored-that-goal-in-front-of-the-kop) about having to Google himself to prove to the 27-year-old Brazilian, who [came to Anfield in 2018](https://www.liverpoolfc.com/news/first-team/307801-liverpool-confirm-alisson-deal), that he had previously played with the Anfield club.

[Like Alisson](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/alisson/erfolge/spieler/105470), Mellor was also involved in a Champions League-winning squad, having [played in two matches](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/neil-mellor/leistungsdatendetails/spieler/3605/plus/0/saison/2004/wettbewerb/CL/verein/31) in the Reds’ European triumph in 2004/05.

These Liverpool fans on Twitter jokingly called out Alisson upon seeing the footage of Mellor’s goal against Arsenal back in 2004:

> Have you shown this to Alisson Becker Neil?
