A number of Liverpool fans have taken to Twitter to praise Nathaniel Phillips for his impressive performance in last night’s Champions League encounter.

The Reds had a mountain to climb in their quarter-final second leg at Anfield after losing 3-1 to Real Madrid in the first leg.

Liverpool were unable to overturn the deficit, playing out a goalless draw in a game which saw them miss several gilt-edged chances.
