Freddie Woodman has been "unbelievable" since his arrival at Liverpool, says Andy Robertson.
The former England youth international – signed as a third-choice keeper on a free transfer last summer – made his first Premier League appearance since 2021 when he was thrown into Sunday's crucial Merseyside derby after Giorgi Mamardashvili was injured in the second half of Liverpool's win at Everton.
That 2021 fixture was one of four top-flight matches during eight years at Newcastle – although he was loaned to six teams in that time, before joining Preston in 2022.
The 29-year-old is set to add to that tally, with Mamardashvili looking likely for a spell on the sidelines and Alisson not expected to return until at least after this weekend's visit of Crystal Palace.
"Look I take the mickey out of him a lot and we always have a laugh and a joke but he is a credit to himself," Robertson told LFCTV post-match.
"Since he has come in, he has been unbelievable, whether that's Mo Salah wanting to stay out and do penalties after training, Woody is one there doing that with him.
"Whether it is running after the game where the lads have been dragged out, like I've done [after the game] at PSG, and he is always there to do it and to support.
"So these people at a club like this are so important. Maybe they don't always get the credit they deserve, don't always get the limelight and stuff like that. But when he walked back in the changing room there, I think he got a nice reception.
"He is a well-loved player, he has fitted in so well. It maybe took him a few weeks to actually talk to any of us! He was a bit nervous but once he settled in, he showed his quality as well.
"Forget about the personality, he has shown his composure, his quality on the ball.
"But like he says, we've got quality goalkeepers here, Ali (Alisson Becker) is the best in the world, hopefully he is back soon, hopefully Giorgi is back soon too.
"But if these two are out [injured], we all fully believe he is one to step up and he showed that today."
