Liverpool fullback Johnson: Reina best I've played with

Liverpool fullback Glen Johnson rates Pepe Reina as among the best goalkeepers he's ever played with.

Reina was outstanding for Liverpool in their derby win at Everton.

And Johnson said: "Those saves was amazing. We were one-up at the time and hanging on.

"If either Tim Cahill or Marouane Fellaini had scored, it could have been a different story.

"Those saves turned our season around. Pepe is one of the best in the business, there is no disputing that. He is a Spanish international on merit and deserves recognition every time that he plays.

"He is certainly one of the best that I have ever played alongside. He has got so much to his game, he is even really good with his feet and you can see him in training.

"That is what the modern goalkeeper needs. He is quick and agile and makes great saves like that, it was a turning point in the game and it could be a turning point in the season."
