Liverpool managed to show incredible character in churning out a 1-0 win over Nottingham Forest to keep their hold on the top spot in the Premier League.
It took an extremely late winning goal from Darwin Nunez to get an injury-struck Reds over the line and going strong in the title race.
What is rather amazing is that Liverpool have won all four games in the span of the last 11 days or so, getting three clean sheets and only conceding once.
Caoimhin Keller has played in every single of those matches and earned his clean sheets, making some amazing saves, especially in the Carabao Cup final and against Forest.
The 25-year-old has proven to be a worthy replacement for the injured Alisson and Liverpool fans on Reddit can’t stop singing praises for the no.2, as they reacted.
SlightlyLazy04: “A big reason the season's going so well despite all of the injuries is Kelleher's seemless transition! Lad deserves a lot of credit.”
BTS_1: “Kelleher's the most reliable backup GK we've had since I've been watching for 20+ years. He's so good and rarely puts a foot wrong and I don't mind when he plays, which was not the case in the past with our previous backups.”
Micar11: “In this run...he's played 6 matches and conceded 3 goals......3 clean sheets in a row....pretty good going. Before this run and season to date .....Liverpool hadn't gone 2 games in a row without conceding.”
Loveandmonsters: “You can see he's learned a lot from Alisson. Man puts a leg or arm out in all directions to cover all possible angles, which sounds like a no-brainer but it isn't really. Done a lot of Ali-type saves in the past handful of matches.”
PornFilterRefugee: “He’s been brilliant. Have to admit I was a bit worried after the Southampton game last season but he’s been so so good. I’d love him to stay as no. 2 long term but there has to be so many teams looking at him now and it would be great to see him really nail down a starting spot somewhere and show how good he is.”
Robw_1973: “Lad walks into every other premier league team as a number 1.”
