In-form Nathan Patterson has been labelled a "diamond" by Liverpool favourite Danny Murphy after his all-action display in the Merseyside Derby draw.
The rampaging Everton right-back has nailed down his position in Frank Lampard's side and impressed again when Jurgen Klopp's big-hitters crossed Stanley Park on Saturday. The 0-0 scoreline belied an encounter packed with chances and thrilling incidents as both teams were forced to settle for a point - despite multiple shots off the woodwork and a host of incredible saves.
But Murphy was keen to highlight the 20-year-old's emergence during his post-match analysis, and he spent most of the section talking up the former Rangers star. The Scotland international left Ibrox in a £12m deal back in January and is thriving at Goodison Park, as he caused Liverpool 's all conquering side problems during a pulsating 90 minutes.
