'We've been telling Thiago to shoot more!'

The stylish nature of Thiago Alcantara's first goal for Liverpool came as no surprise to Rhys Williams.

Spain playmaker Thiago opened his Reds account in fine fashion on Saturday night, as he arced in a low finish from outside the area to seal a 2-0 win over Southampton at Anfield.

And Williams told Liverpoolfc.com: “Well, we’ve been telling him to shoot more!

“His shooting in training is top. I think Gini shouted ‘Shoot!’ and he must have heard him because he’s whipped it round and finally got one for us.”

Read on for our full post-match interview with the young centre-back, who put in an assured performance upon his return to first-team action against Saints…

On the importance of the win…

Yeah, it was massive coming off the back of two draws.
