Jurgen Klopp hailed "incredible" Caoimhin Kelleher for proving the decision to start him in Liverpool's Carabao Cup final win over Chelsea right.
Some eyebrows were raised last month when the Reds manager initially indicated that deputy goalkeeper Kelleher would be starting at Wembley ahead of usual first choice Alisson Becker.
Klopp doubled down on his selection comments earlier this week before the Irishman made a handful of superb saves to keep out Chelsea as the Reds won a dramatic penalty shootout 11-10.
