Liverpool goalkeeper Caoimhin Kelleher admitted that the Reds' chaotic Carabao Cup victory over Arsenal was "a bit of a crazy one" as the Irish youngster eventually became the hero at Anfield.

The 20-year-old goalkeeper saved a decisive penalty in the shootout after a remarkable 5-5 draw in which the Reds had been 3-1 and 4-2 down.

"Obviously we do a lot of work with the goalie coach and on penalties and stuff, and I spoke just before the shootout about where certain players were going, so we've done our homework and I've managed to go the right way and make the save, so it was good yeah," Kelleher told Sky Sports after the match.

"It was a bit of a crazy one yeah, five goals went past me and I didn't have time to blink really. Some strange goals as well, so it was a bit of strange night but a good one in the end."

Kelleher also hailed the contribution of Origi, who again netted an important late strike for the Reds.

"He always comes up with massive goals when you need him does Div," said the goalkeeper.

"He was unreal tonight, and the whole team tonight, we never died and we kept going right to the very end."
