Jurgen Klopp has heaped praise on Caoimhin Kelleher after the goalkeeper was Liverpool’s penalty shootout here once again as the Reds started their League Cup defence with victory over Derby County.
The Republic of Ireland international hadn’t played for Liverpool since last year’s final against Chelsea, where he scored in the shootout at Wembley, having returned injured at the start of pre-season.
By keeping out three penalties against Derby to secure the Reds’ passage, Kelleher became the Liverpool goalkeeper with most shootout victories (four) and most shootout saves (six) in the club’s history.
