Liverpool youngster Caoimhin Kelleher set a sensational record in his side's dramatic Carabao Cup victory on penalties over Derby on Wednesday night, becoming the first Reds goalkeeper to win four shoot-outs.
Jurgen Klopp simply responded "Wow" after being informed of the feat in his press conference following the third-round victory.
Kelleher already held the record for winning three shoot-outs in a Liverpool shirt, his first coming in the Reds' Carabao Cup fourth-round win over Arsenal in 2019. The match itself finished 5-5 with the Anfield giants going on to win 5-4 on penalties.
Kelleher next won a penalty shoot-out in the Carabao Cup semi-final last season when Liverpool overcame Leicester City before the Corkman was called into action again in the final at Wembley.
After a tight game with Chelsea, a total of 22 penalties were taken to separate the sides, with Kelleher standing guard as Blues keeper Kepa Arrizabalaga fired his spot-kick into the stands.
Jurgen Klopp selected his trusty shot-stopper - a man he has previously labelled the best No 2 in the world behind ultimate No 1 Alisson - for the visit of Derby this Wednesday.
And it's safe to say the Irishman didn't let him down, saving three of the five penalties he faced in the shoot-out after a goalless draw on the night.
In winning his fourth shoot-out for Liverpool, Kelleher has bettered his already impressive record after only 18 appearances in a Reds shirt. What's more, the keeper is only 23.
Who will win the EFL Cup this season? Have your say in the comments.
Klopp was quick to heap praise on Kelleher immediately after Wednesday's win, reiterating he believes the keeper to be the best No 2 in world football.
Speaking more broadly, he added: "Great kids coming up, top performances. In the end, Caoimhin Kelleher is saving us in an outstanding manner.
"I liked the game a lot. The most difficult thing is to put a group of players together who haven't played together to play against a deep defending side."
