BBC pundit wowed by what £32k-a-week Liverpool player did in first half v Nottingham Forest

Liverpool goalkeeper Caoimhin Kelleher delivered a solid display in the first half of the Premier League game away at Nottingham Forest.

For instance, in the 11th minute, the Reds stopper was quickly off🏅 his line to gather the ball as Morgan Gibbs-White sought to send a free kick into Ryan Yates’ path.

Then, in the 22nd minute, Kelleher pulled off a superb stop to deny Anthon﷽y Elanga after he had gone clean through on goal.

Former Liverpool ace Divock Origi slid the ball in behind the Re꧒ds defence for Elanga to race onto, but Kelleher stuck a boot out to deny him.

BBC Sport pundit Paul Robinson loved what ꦉhe saw💖 from the talent, hailing him on Radio 5 Live.

He said, as per the : “Fantastic save fr🧸om Caoimhin🔯 Kelleher!

One-on-one 🔯and I think Anthony Elanga did l𓆉ook a touch offside, but that shows how fast Forest can break.

“Kelleher does fantastically well🔜, he stood up and spread himself – in all honesty Elanga should do a lot better.”

Meanwhile, on Sky Sports Soccer Saturday, Michael Dawson 🦂also lauded the Liverp🔯ool man.

“He’ll be devastated he hasn’t scored! What a save, what a chance,” he said, as😼 per the .

Kelleher is with💦out a doubt the best second-choice keeper in the Premier League at present, aside maybe Ars🍒enal stopper Aaron Ramsdale.

It remains to be seen whether he stays put at Anfield next season though, as a player of his ✅calibre shouꦯldn’t be a second-choice stopper for much longer.

As for the match, Liverpool are doing a decent job against tricky opposition so far. They’ve had🤪 the majority of the possession and some good openings.

However, t🌄hey’ve not managed to get a shot on target yet, while at the other end, Forest fashioned arguably the best chance of the game – the one Elanga missed a💃gainst Kelleher.

Both sets of 𒆙Reds went in at the break with the score level at 0-0.
