Liverpool fans voted goalkeeper Caoimhin Kelleher the Carlsberg Player of The Match against RB Leipzig for his sensational matching-winning performance. The Irishman made many crucial saves as fans voted him above other sensational performers like Darwin Nunez and Ibrahima Konate.

Liverpool beat Leipzig 0-1 in an away Champions League to register their third straight victory in the competition this season. The Reds have won 11 out of the first 12 games in all competitions to maintain their strong campaign start.

New head coach Arne Slot has successfully implemented his tactical style of play and unique demands, making Liverpool more efficient. However, the Reds are still a work in progress and have a lot of improvement to achieve under the Dutchman.

Liverpool allowed Leipzig to dominate in some phases and with their quality, the German side created strong opportunities to equalise. However, Kelleher made sensational saves and governed his box to maintain the clean sheet and allowed Liverpool to return victorious.

The official Liverpool site, Liverpoolfc.com revealed that fans voted the 25-year-old as their Carlsberg Player of The Match against Leipzig. Kelleher made six saves and a 100% successful run out while making four saves from shots from inside the box.

Furthermore, the Irishman made one high claim and boasted 83% passing accuracy with seven out of 14 accurate long balls. Liverpool lost Alisson Becker to a hamstring injury with an estimated return date set after the November international break.

Kelleher’s dominant display proves why he is considered the best backup goalkeeper by many football fans and pundits. The 25-year-old has a crucial role to play for the Reds during this congested fixture period, facing tough opponents.
