Liverpool goalkeeper Kelleher: Great mentality and fighting spirit for win at Forest

Liverpool goalkeeper Caoimhin Kelleher hailed their team spirit shown for victory at Nottingham Forest.

The Reds won 1-0 thanks to a controversial winner from Darwin Nunez in the 99th minute.

Kelleher told Liverpoolfc.com post-match: “Obviously it's great fight from the lads to stay in it until the very end and I think we got our reward.

“I think we deserved to win, definitely, on the balance of play, so yeah, delighted with the win.

“Obviously [there is] a great mentality within the whole squad, even the youngsters, and we just have that fight and never-give-up attitude and we showed it again, which was pleasing.

“I know the quality we have going forward so I always have that belief that we will score a goal. So, right up until the very end I had that belief that we were going to get something.

“It's always the motivation with myself and the back line, to keep that clean sheet, and then we know that if we keep that we've got a great chance of winning with the quality we have up top.

“So, I'm happy to get another one and hopefully we can keep going with that momentum and get some more."

He added, "Obviously it's a difficult place to come anyway but when they are fighting for their safety it makes it even more difficult. So, we came here, we ground out the win and that's all we can do.

“I think it's the Premier League: every game is going to be tough, especially coming away from home to places like this, it's never easy.

“So, I think we're going to be in for a few more of them but we've showed fight so far so hopefully we can keep going."
