Adrian: Liverpool's defenders are like animals!

Liverpool's defenders play "like animals", according to goalkeeper Adrian, following the club's Super Cup success and strong start to the new Premier League season.

The Reds have gone unbeaten since a penalty shoot-out loss to Manchester City at Wembley in the Community Shield, winning both of their opening games in the top flight and lifting more European silverware, this time against Chelsea in Istanbul.

Having only joined as a free agent in August, former West Ham shot-stopper Adrian found himself drafted into the starting XI following an injury to regular keeper Alisson, with the Spaniard engraving his name into club history as he made a decisive save to halt Tammy Abraham's spot-kick in the climactic shoot-out.
