Premier League: Reading frustrate Liverpool in thrilling goalless draw
Saturday 13 April 2013 18:43, UK
Reading goalkeeper Alex McCarthy played a starring role as the Royals frustrated Liverpool to a goalless draw in a battling Premier League encounter at the Madejski Stadium on Saturday.
Liverpool manager Rodgers says he had no complaints with the performance of his side and admits it was McCarthy's superb showing that stood between them and a win. "That's arguably the best goalkeeping performance I've ever seen, watching many games and being involved in many games," Rodgers told Sky Sports. "Not just tipping it around the corner but actually holding onto the ball. "I've no complaints other than we're disappointed that we didn't win. We couldn't have done any more." Reading boss Adkins agreed McCarthy's performance was "outstanding", with the keeper stepping in for the injured Adam Federici. "The goalkeeping display was outstanding wasn't it?" he said. "He's a young English goalkeeper and I know he's got a bright future. "We've kept a clean-sheet because Alex has pulled off some fantastic saves. But the players have worked very hard as a unit as well today."
