'What a keeper!' - West Ham supporters go nuts over Adrian's penalty heroics for Liverpool

Former West Ham United goalkeeper Adrian has become a Liverpool hero sooner than he would have anticipated.

The Spaniard, who arrived at Anfield on a free transfer on August 5th after the expiry of his contract at the London Stadium, has been thrust into the spotlight already this season.

He made his debut as a first-half substitute against Norwich City last Friday following an injury to Reds no.1 Alisson Becker.

As a result, Adrian was named in between the sticks for Wednesday night's UEFA Super Cup clash against Chelsea in Istanbul, Turkey.

It's a massive turn of events for the keeper in regards to his situation last term.

The 32-year-old had played 150 times in the six years that he spent at West Ham, although had to settle for a role as second choice behind Łukasz Fabiański during the 2018/19 season.

Now he's set for a run in the Liverpool team.

And hero status could be in the pipeline as he saved Tammy Abraham's penalty to clinch the Super Cup trophy for the Merseyside giants at the expense of last season's Europa League winners.

Not only are Reds supporters delighted with Adrian's impact, a number of Hammers fans have praised their former player.

Take a look at what's been said on Twitter...
