Harvey Elliott says £25m Liverpool player was absolutely ‘unreal’ vs Everton in the Merseyside Derby
Liverpool emerged victorious in the Merseyside Derby against Everton.
The Reds were nowhere near their best at Anfield on Wednesday night, but Arne Slot’s side, as they have done many times this season already, managed to get th𝓀e job done.
Diogo Jota’s well-taken goal in the second half proved to be enough for the hosts to win the derꦜby last night, but Everton could’ve easily scored a goal or two of their own.
David Moyes’ men, despite playing wౠell for large parts of the game, could not do that, which is why they have lost their bragging rights.
Harvey Elliott hails Caoimhin Kelleher after Liverpool beat Everton
Caoimhin Kelleher got the nod to start for Liverpool against Evert🐼on on Wedneꦓsday night.
That is because A💟lisson suffered a head injury while playing for Brazil, and concussion protocols meant that he had to miss 💙the derby.
Kelleher did🏅n’t have a lot to do all game – Everton did🅰n’t even have a shot on target.
However, when Beto went charging through on goal, the goalkeeper made himself big,🔯 and that must have played a part in the Toffees striker hitting the post.
Apart 💦from that, Kelleher’s distribution was fairly good, and he more than held his own inside the box against Eve𝓰rton’s big boys.
That must have impressed Harvey Elliott, who was an unused substitute.
After Kell🌃eher posted a pic🎃ture of himself on Instagram to celebrate his performance and the win, Elliott commented: “Unreal!”
The latest on Caoimhin Kelleher’s Liverpool’s future
Kelleher is🃏 definitely up there with the best second-choice goalkeepers in the world.
The 26-year-old is more than good enough to start for almost all the sides in the Premier League, but he has one of the best goalkeepers in the world in Alisson ahead of him at Liverp🐎ool.
The Irishman is expected to be sold this summer, and TBR Football exclusively revealed in February that Chelsea and Newcastle ar🌳e among five clubs in🐲terested in Kelleher.
Tottenham are also interested in Kelleher, whom Liverpool are demanding £25 million to sell this summer ꧋().
