'He has a bit of Scholesy in him': Michael Owen leads praise for Thiago's 'beautiful' 30-yard strike for Liverpool against Porto... as even rival fans applaud his first-time 'daisy cutter'

Liverpool may have already secured a place in the Champions League last-16 as group winners before they took on Porto - but that didn't stop them from producing one of the highlights of Wednesday's action.

Already seven points clear of Porto with just two matches to play, the Reds could have been forgiven for just going through the motions to wrap up their group fixtures.

Instead they demonstrated why they are still one of the hot favourites to win the competition outright thanks to a wonderful strike from Thiago Alcantara in a 2-0 win over their Portuguese group rivals.
