Martin Keown has heaped praise on Joe Gomez for his excellent defensive showing against Manchester City, insisting he always had the confidence the quality of the Liverpool centre-back would shine through.
Gomez has battled with constant injury setbacks since joining the club from Charlton Athletic in 2015, preventing him from establishing himself as Jurgen Klopp's go-to partner alongside Virgil van Dijk.
The 25-year-old ruptured his left knee patellar tendon during an international break in November 2020, ruling him out for the remainder of the 2020/21 season, having previously suffered an ACL injury on his opposite knee in 2015 to rule him out for 15 months.
