Benitez: Reina "one of the best goalkeepers in the world"
Liverpool boss Rafael Benitez lauded Jose Reina for his goalkeeping display in the Merseyside derby at Goodison Park.
With 20 minutes remaining Reina pulled off one of the saves of the season when he dived low to his left to keep out Tim Cahill's header and then sprung to his feet to block Marouane Fellaini's follow-up.
"When we signed him we knew he was a good keeper and he is improving here," said Benitez of Reina.
"Xavi Valero, our goalkeeping coach, is doing a really good job with him and you can see him improving every day.
"For me he is one of the best goalkeepers in the world and (yesterday) he showed why.
"It was a great save. In this situation he was amazing."
