It was a tale of three goalkeepers at Wembley Stadium on Sunday - and it was a low-profile Irishman who emerged the hero ahead of the world's most expensive goalkeeper and an Africa Cup of Nations winner.
Having picked 23-year-old academy product Caoimhin Kelleher for every game in this season's Carabao Cup competition bar one, Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp stayed true to his promise in selecting the Cork-born keeper ahead of established number one Alisson.
And his gamble paid off handsomely as Kelleher produced a string of fine saves as Liverpool and Chelsea ended 120 minutes of a dramatic final at 0-0, before scoring the winning penalty in a memorable 11-10 penalty shootout triumph.
