The Late Challenge podcast's Mo Stewart discussed Liverpool's 3-1 over Crystal Palace at the weekend with BBC Radio Merseyside.

The victory made it three league wins on the bounce for the Reds and one of the biggest takeaways from the game was the performance of third-choice goalkeeper, Freddie Woodman.

He made five saves, his highest total in a single match in the Premier League.

"That Liverpool performance wasn't a million miles away from the ones earlier on in the season," said Stewart.

"On Saturday, those chances came for Crystal Palace but they didn't go in. Chances came for Liverpool and they did.

"The fact Woodman got his name sung on The Kop, not only did they say he should be the new England goalkeeper, but I believe there's merch being made with his name on.

"Liverpool love a cult hero, and I think he's become one over the past two games."
