Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp was full of praise for Adrian after victory over Sheffield United.

The Spaniard was making his first appearance since October with Alisson Becker absent following the recent death of his father and Caoimhin Kelleher still struggling with injury.

And Klopp has praised the character of Adrian, who made a number of key saves at Bramall Lane.

"Top, top, top, top," said the Reds boss. "I'm so happy for him, he deserves that. He showed pure class and top character. He showed all his personality.

"If you want, he is now number three (goalkeeper) but in the dressing room you will never see any difference.

"He is just a very strong character and helps the team even when he's not playing. Here he helped on the pitch a lot and I'm really happy for him."
