Carabao League final: Liverpool goalie reacts to his winning goal vs Chelsea

The man of the match for Liverpool during the Carabao League final vs Chelsea at Wembley Stadium was their goalkeeper Caoimhin Kelleher.

This comes as Kelleher ended up scoring the 11th penalty for the Reds, which was the goal that sealed their victory against Chelsea.

The game ended in a 0-0 scoreline after the two teams saw their goals disallowed; the match proceeded to a penalty shootout as Liverpool went on to win on an 11-10 scoreline.

Kelleher, in a post-match statement, could not hide his excitement at the role he played in the Reds’ win.

“It’s a mad one,” Kelleher said on Sky Sports. “I got close to a few when it came down to me I didn’t even think I had scored the winning penalty. I’d forgotten I’d got the winning one. All the lads were class, I was just happy to score.

“It was more hit and hope. I got close to a few but all the penalties were very high quality thankfully we were able to win.

“I thought we had scored when we got the disallowed goal but they had a few disallowed so I think a draw was a fair result overall.”

“He [Jurgen Klopp] just said ‘well done for scoring the winning penalty, there’s a wall with all the goalkeepers on who have won cups so now you can go on that.’”
