ISTANBUL (Reuters) - Spanish goalkeeper Adrian was without a club two weeks ago, one of the many free agents searching for employment for the upcoming season -- on Wednesday he was Liverpool's penalty shoot-out saviour in their Super Cup victory over Chelsea.

The 32-year-old was released by West Ham United at the end of last season but handed a Premier League lifeline last week by Liverpool boss Juergen Klopp who drafted him as back-up to Brazilian first-choice Alisson Becker.
