Liverpool midfielder Adam Lallana has praised the "world-class" talent of Chelsea goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois after the Belgian saved his goal-bound shot in last night's Capital One Cup semi-final.
The England international, who came on as a substitute in the second half at Anfield, was denied by Courtois, who was named man of the match following the 1-1 draw.
"I can't believe the keeper saved it, I was halfway on my celebration," Lallana told the club's official website. "It was a fantastic save and probably one of the reasons why he got man of the match. He is world class and Chelsea are a world-class team.
"We come off the pitch disappointed but still in the game. We'll go to Stamford Bridge and we're fully confident we can go through to the final."
The second leg of the semi-final will be held at Stamford Bridge next week.
