Takumi Minamino made his Premier League debut for Liverpool in unexpected fashion on Thursday evening.
The Japanese international started the game on the bench but was required to come on early in the first half after Sadio Mane picked up an injury.
Minamino joined the front-line and looked sharp, with manager Jurgen Klopp heaping praise on him for his display.
The Reds overcame Wolves 2-1, with Roberto Firmino striking late on to ensure their record of winning every league match besides one this season.
Liverpool fans were certainly pleased with the performance of the new arrival and took to Twitter to praise his display.
