Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp has raved about goalkeeper Adrian for his performance against Everton, as quoted on the club’s official website.

The Reds got the better of Merseyside rivals Everton 1-0 at Anfield in the third round of the FA Cup on Sunday.

Although Liverpool were the better side in the Merseyside derby, former West Ham United goalkeeper Adrian did have to make a few good saves.

The Spaniard made three big saves from Everton trio Dominic Calvert-Lewin, Mason Holgate and Richarlison.

Curtis Jones has been making all the headlines for his superb goal and overall performance, and while Liverpool manager Klopp was impressed with the 18-year-old midfielder, he was also pleased with 33-year-old Adrian and believes that he was “absolutely class”.

Klopp told Liverpool’s official website: “That they had three big chances, we know that – Adrian, class, absolutely class – and then we scored that goal.”
