Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp was pleased with Caoimhin Kelleher for victory at Brentford.

Kelleher stepped in with senior goalkeeper Alisson suffered a hamstring injury.

klopp said: "Ali was ill last week and is injured this week. There is absolutely no other ideas behind it. If Ali wouldn't have been ill and wouldn't have been injured now, Ali would have played. So, no.

"Caoimhin had already enough games this year to have kind of rhythm. Goalkeepers are [a] different breed to other people, so it was not in my plans to play [him] in Luton or whatever. How I said, we play the game we play with all focus and all attention and don't think about other things. It might be not the smartest way. It's just the only way I know.

"He was outstanding. I don't know exactly, to be honest, who is the number one [goalkeeper] in Ireland but if they have a better goalkeeper than him I have to say, 'Respect'. He's outstanding and this year we gave him more games than he had previously. It's well deserved because we need him, and we need him with rhythm and now the situation around Ali shows that it makes absolutely sense. We will see how long Ali is out, but Caoimhin is exceptional. Today he was... wow! It was an A-plus performance."
