Reaction'We never give up and showed our spirit again' – Caoimhin Kelleher on Forest win

The Reds prevailed in the most dramatic of circumstances at the City Ground as Darwin Nunez headed home in the ninth minute of stoppage time to snatch three vital points and record the club’s latest-ever Premier League victory.

Despite a host of injury issues, Jürgen Klopp’s side have now reeled off six consecutive wins across all competitions and, for the first time this season, three successive clean sheets.

And goalkeeper Kelleher told Liverpoolfc.com post-match: “Obviously it’s great fight from the lads to stay in it until the very end and I think we got our reward.

“I think we deserved to win, definitely, on the balance of play, so yeah, delighted with the win.

“Obviously [there is] a great mentality within the whole squad, even the youngsters, and we just have that fight and never-give-up attitude and we showed it again, which was pleasing.

“I know the quality we have going forward so I always have that belief that we will score a goal. So, right up until the very end I had that belief that we were going to get something.

“It’s always the motivation with myself and the back line, to keep that clean sheet, and then we know that if we keep that we’ve got a great chance of winning with the quality we have up top.

“So, I’m happy to get another one and hopefully we can keep going with that momentum and get some more.”

Kelleher went on to cite concentration as a crucial aspect in another assured personal performance.

He stated: “For sure, I think that’s the way it’s always been at Liverpool: you’re not going to have much to do but you probably get that one moment when you need to step up, so thankfully again I was able to do it.

“It’s the most important thing, that you have to stay concentrated throughout the whole game and try to keep that clean sheet.”

The Republic of Ireland international also believes there will be more nerve-shredding matches to come during the final stretch of the title race, such is the quality of the Premier League.

“Obviously it’s a difficult place to come anyway but when they are fighting for their safety it makes it even more difficult. So, we came here, we ground out the win and that’s all we can do,” the 25-year-old said.

“I think it’s the Premier League: every game is going to be tough, especially coming away from home to places like this, it’s never easy.

“So, I think we’re going to be in for a few more of them but we’ve showed fight so far so hopefully we can keep going.”
