Liverpool defeated Chelsea 5-4 on penalties to win the UEFA Super Cup for the fourth time after they finished 2-2 at the end of extra time in the summit clash.
The backup goalkeeper Adrian made the crucial save to deny Tammy Abraham and give his team a win on Wednesday, reports Xinhua news agency.
“It’s been a crazy week. I’m really happy for the team, I’m happy to play for Liverpool and happy for the fans,” Adrian said.
Chelsea took the lead 1-0 in the 36th minute before Sadio Mane pulled Liverpool level early in the second half. Mane struck again in extra-time but Chelsea responded with a penalty from Jorginho to take it to the shoot-out.
