Coutinho stepped up to take the spot kick but Meslier stuck
out a hand to keep out the Brazilian's effort and then somehow also saved his
follow-up attempt with his leg.
Meslier then produced even more heroics just two minutes
later as he tipped an effort from Ollie Watkins over the bar after Coutinho had
played in the striker one on one.
