The majestic midfielder, who was voted Man of the Match by our fans, headed the opener from a Luke Shaw free-kick as the Reds defeated Newcastle United 2-0 to clinch the first trophy of Erik ten Hag's reign.

The Brazil international won five Champions League titles with former club Real Madrid but retains an insatiable appetite for more glory. One challenge on Joelinton by the touchline towards the end of the first half was greeted with a primal scream towards the United fans and perfectly illustrated his infectious approach.

After his superb performance, Casemiro spoke to TNT Brazil and ESPN to express his emotions on a fabulous afternoon for the Reds.
