Liverpool midfielder Thiago was a standout performer once again as the Reds thrashed Merseyside rivals Everton 4-1 at Goodison Park.

A sublime Mohamed Salah brace was backed up by Diogo Jota and Jordan Henderson strikes as the visitors ran riot.

Returning to the scene of the moment that stalled the Spaniard’s career at Anfield last season, the 30-year-old was instrumental in a superb display.

Calm, composed and above all, masterful on the ball, Thiago was so often the go-to man when attempting to begin attacks.

Speaking on BBC Radio 5 Live (1/12, 21:52), Hutton lauded the ex-Bayern Munich ace’s performance.

Some of Thiago’s movement, skills and vision are out of this world. He sees things that other people don’t – you think it’s a bad pass but he’s actually just a step ahead. He’s had a great night but what a player to bring on here in James Milner.

Prior to last night (December 1), the 46-cap Spain star had been on the scoresheet in two consecutive marches.

Despite not finding the net, Thiago earned a 6.60 Sofascore rating against Everton – completing 41 passes, two tackles and winning two aerial duels.

READ LIVERPOOL VERDICT

There can be no denying life in Liverpool hasn’t been easy thus far for Thiago.

However, the Spaniard possesses all the ability in the world and alongside the endeavour of Jordan Henderson and the defensive acumen of Fabinho, Jurgen Klopp may have the perfect blend in midfield.

Capable of the spectacular, Kopites can be hopeful of plenty more dazzling displays from their £22.5million valued man.

Is Thiago In Liverpool's Best XI?
