A bizarre moment involving Adrian has emerged from Liverpool’s win over Sheffield United, with the goalkeeper doing keepy-uppies during the game.
The Reds beat the Blades 2-0 at Bramall Lane on Sunday night, thanks to Curtis Jones’ opener and Kean Bryan’s own goal.
Adrian started in goal for Liverpool in the absence of Alisson, enjoying a good outing in his first start in the Premier League since October.

Goalkeepers are renowned for being eccentric characters and Adrian’s antics seem to typify that.
He is clearly someone who is confident in his own ability, despite some low points at Liverpool to date, and he deserves praise for a strong showing against the Blades.
It would still be preferable for Alisson to return against Chelsea on Thursday, however, assuming he is available, following the death of his father last week.
The visit of the Blues is a huge game and Liverpool need as many of their big-hitters around as possible.
