On a memorable Champions League night at Anfield, it was an important and impressive performance from their 22-year-old goalkeeper from Cork which stood out as they beat the Dutch side 1-0 to seal their last-16 berth.

Caoimhin Kelleher, who has only played a handful of games for the Reds and is yet to make his Premier League debut was thrown in at the 11th hour after an injury to regular keeper Alisson and back-up Adrian out-of-favour.
