Operating mainly on the left, he tormented Trent Alexander-Arnold and fans were in awe at his performance.

But the boyhood Villa fan signed a new deal with the club until 2025 last month to end all speculation of a move.
Manager Dean Smith beamed with delight at his team's performance after the full-time whistle.
"It has to rank at the top to get a performance and a result like that against an exceptional team," Smith said per Daily Mail.
"It takes something special. It was a special performance from the players tonight.
