Liverpool goalkeeper Kelleher: We can push on from Wolves Cup win

Liverpool goalkeeper Caoimhin Kelleher says their FA Cup win at Wolves can relaunch their season.

The Cup victory was Liverpool's first for 2023.

“The last few days have been about getting back to basics, making sure we're compact and hard to break down," he told Liverpoolfc.com. “I think we showed we're capable of doing that.

“The most important thing was the result and I think we bounced back really well from the weekend. That was the main idea tonight – to bounce back and put in a good performance. I feel we did that.

“The team shape was really good, really strong. We didn't have many shots or chances conceded. The whole team did very well."

On Harvey Elliott's superb winning goal, Kelleher added: “It was an unreal strike. Harvey was brilliant for the whole game and that goal just summed up his performance.

“The clean sheet was important for us, and the goal was a stunner."

He also said: "Sometimes you just need to grind out results and that's what we did tonight. We showed some great character.

"I think getting a clean sheet and a win tonight will fill us full of confidence and hopefully we can use this result to push on.

"We look forward to the next game at the weekend [against Chelsea] and hopefully build from there."
