Kelleher more than happy to score the winning goal.

The Reds’ young goalkeeper explains his feelings after winning the EFL Cup.

Caoimhin Kelleher

scored the last penalty in

Liverpool’s

win against

Chelsea

in the EFL Cup final in a game that ended in a goalless draw in the regular time, and the Reds won the game 11-10 in the penalty shootouts.

Kelleher says that although he is delighted with his side’s victory, he had no idea that he was scoring the winning goal.

"I thought I'd saved one, I got close to a few and then when it came down to me, I didn't even realise I'd scored the winning penalty!",

he said

.

"I forgot that I'd scored the winning one, all the penalties from the lads were class, and I was just happy to score."

The 23-year-old was also asked about the impact of his experiences as an outfielder on his penalty, and he said that it was a hit-and-hope situation.

"I think it was more hit and hope!

"I got a hand on a few, but all the penalties were very high quality, and I'm just thankful we were able to win.

"I thought we had scored when we got that goal [Joel Matip's second-half disallowed effort], and it was obviously disallowed. They had a few disallowed too, so I think over the game a draw was a fair result."
