Football pundit Alan Shearer singled out Liverpool defender Joe Gomez for praise following the Reds' 1-0 Premier League victory over Huddersfield Town on Saturday.
Gomez started the match in the right-back position, despite excelling as Virgil van Dijk's central defensive partner in the early stages of the season. However, the England international looked more than comfortable in a wider position, and played an important part in ensuring that his side picked up a valuable clean sheet.

Speaking on Match of the Day, Shearer claimed the defender played an integral role in his side claiming the three points, and said: "I was thoroughly impressed with him (Gomez) again today. It wasn’t a classic performance from Liverpool but this guy stood out again. Cool, calm, he’s got pace to get across the ground and cover situations so quickly.
Meanwhile, Napoli boss Carlo Ancelotti has claimed he's no longer haunted by his AC Milan side's 2005 Champions League Final loss to Liverpool, in which his team threw away a 3-0 lead to eventually lose on penalties. Ancelotti's new club face the Reds this week, and will be looking to claim another win after beating them at Anfield earlier in the month.
