Adrian becomes a Liverpool Super Cup hero

Adrian’s  move to Liverpool is currently paying off in spades with the former Hammers keeper becoming the hero of the night as Liverpool won the Uefa Super Cup via a penalty shoot out save.

With the game 2-2 at the end of extra time and the penalty shoot-out level at 4-4 Adrian saved Chelsea striker Tammy Abraham’s effort  to ensure the scousers grabbed their fourth Super Cup victory.

Not exactly a replay of the famous night when he saved from Steven Naismith before scoring for the Irons in an FA Cup third-round replay penalty shootout against Everton in 2015.

But a blinding night for the Spaniard regardless who was involved tonight as a result of Allisson’s absence due to a calf injury sustained against Norwich City.

An ecstatic Adrian was joined by overjoyed team mates and manager Jurgen Klopp with Reds skipper Jordan Henderson saying: “I’m delighted for Adrian . He’s just joined the club and is a hero tonight.”

For another former Hammer, Chelsea boss Frank Lampard, it was a third Super Cup loss as a player and manager at Chelsea.

You have to be delighted for Adrian who  conducted himself with great dignity at the Hammers after being dislodged from the No 1 goalkeeping spot first by Darren Randolph, then Joe Hart and finally Lukasz Fabianski.
