Liverpool’s Virgil Van Dyck praises teammate Kayomhin Keller after his performance against Chelsea.

Jurgen Klopp’s Liverpool drew 2-2 with Chelsea at Stamford Bridge on Sunday. Sadio Mane and Mohamed Salah gave the visitors a two-goal lead but goals from Matteo Kovacic and Christian Pulisic ended in a draw.

Although Liverpool scored one point in this match, they struggled to perform well for most of the game. However, one player who stood out for the Reds that night was backup goalie Kelleher.

Liverpool striker Van Dyke has impressed the Irishman, calling him a top goalkeeper after the game. Defender insisted the Reds needed Keller in the absence of starting goal tender Allison. He told Sky Sports:

“I am a big fan of his. He is a great goalie. In my opinion, he learns the best from Alison. His presence is good, he is confident on the ball, and he makes excellent saves. “

He added:

“It simply came to our notice then that we needed him now because of the Kovid cases. Unfortunately we both agreed, but the first one he really couldn’t do. We need him in the next matches too. “

I’m a big fan of his and he’s learning from Alison the best. ⁇
