Liverpool goalkeeper Caoimhin Kelleher: What I learned from last season

Liverpool goalkeeper Caoimhin Kelleher says he learned plenty last season.

Kelleher starred in his club's dramatic Carabao Cup final victory over Chelsea and was on the bench for their FA Cup triumph against the same opposition.

Asked what the season just ended has taught him about the vagaries of professional football, he said: “At club level, we won two trophies earlier on and then at the end of the season it wasn't ideal.

“It taught me not to get too high on the highs and not too low on the lows, and stay on an even keel. It has given me good experiences to deal with situations like winning and coming down from a high and being on a low."

Kelleher was the Reds' hero at Wembley in February when he not only kept a clean sheet but also converted the decisive penalty in a nail-biting shoot-out.

He said: “Obviously it was a special moment for me. To win a cup with such a big club like Liverpool was obviously a great moment.

“When you do it once, you kind of want to do it again and again and get that feeling again. It's given me great motivation to try to do it again and get those experiences again."
