The Swiss star is proving one of the bargains of the season as his class helped Jurgen Klopp's men past Fulham at Anfield
It may have spluttered in midweek, but the Liverpool machine is back in business.
Jurgen Klopp called for “a reaction” from his players after Tuesday’s Champions League shocker and he got the right one in the end. Bad as things were in Belgrade, you can’t keep this team down for too long.
In the end it was comfortable, the kind of afternoon for which the phrase ‘routine home win’ was invented. Fulham, the Premier League’s bottom side, were overpowered in the Anfield sunshine.
