The Merseyside Reds returned to their rampant ways in the Premier League and kept by slim title hopes alive by notching up a 2-0 victory against Leicester City.
Aside from a few goal scares, Liverpool were largely comfortable throughout the encounter.
Also making a return was Spanish midfielder Thiago Alcantara after recovering from a hip injury he suffered in December.
And the Spaniard certainly was not short of effort on his return. Right from the get-go, he looked eager to get into the thick of things.
Usually envisioned as a midfielder orchestrator, he’s known for spreading out delicate passes all over the pitch, and also for producing incisive passes when required.
On his return, Thiago looked simply hungry, pressing high into the attacking thirds and putting in plenty of leg work.
His passionate return is personified with this moment in which he tries something truly outrageous in almost impossible circumstances.
The ball fell inviting at the edge of Leicester’s box, Thiago, despite facing away from goal, took the leap and executed an overhead kick, which nearly crept into Kasper Schmeichel’s goal.
