Caoimhin Kelleher saved a penalty from Kylian Mbappe during Liverpool’s clash with Real Madrid at Anfield

Alisson Becker could still have a lot to do when he is fully fit again. This is Caoimhin Kelleher’s current form in goal for Liverpool. The Irishman cemented his growing reputation with a stunning penalty from Kylian Mbappe during the Champions League clash against Real Madrid at Anfield.

Kelleher has filled in brilliantly for Alisson since the Brazilian suffered a hamstring injury in the 1-0 win at Crystal Palace at the start of October and, although he is close to returning to full fitness, he may find it difficult to win his place back in the team.

In fact, Alisson could be seen grinning behind the bench as Kelleher went left to parry French superstar Mbappe after Lucas Vazquez was fouled by Robertson.

No doubt Alisson was happy for his team-mate, who he has passionately supported since his promotion at Anfield. Kelleher has saved three of the four penalties he faced as Liverpool goalkeeper.

Liverpool were leading 1-0 at the time after Alexis Mac Alister’s superb opening goal and later missed their own penalty when Mohamed Salah hit the outside post after the Egyptian was fouled by Ferland Mendy.
