Watch: Liverpool’s Thiago sends Bruno Fernandes to the shops with clever skill

Liverpool‘s Thiago Alcantara imperiously shuffled away from Bruno Fernandes during Liverpool’s goalless draw with Manchester United.
There was much excitement when Jurgen Klopp bought Thiago from European champions Bayern Munich for an initial £20million last summer.
But the Spain international has endured a stop-start season to date. After being sidelined by illness and then suffering a knee injury in the Merseyside derby, he made his Anfield debut in Sunday’s match.
In a tense and cagey encounter, the midfielder still found time to illustrate his immense quality.
During the first-half, which Liverpool had dominated but failed to land a glove on United, Thiago collected the ball deep inside the opposition half.
Dribbling around United talisman Bruno Fernandes as if he were a traffic cone, he travelled forward and lofted a pass over to Mo Salah.
The chance was wasted, but the return of Thiago is a timely boost to Liverpool’s hopes of retaining the Premier League title.
