Thiago ran the show in Liverpool 's win over Manchester United and was full of affection for his teammates following the Anfield masterclass.
The Reds hammered their arch rivals, taking the lead within five minutes as their title charges continued on Merseyside.
Thiago was instrumental in the win, which completed a memorable double over a below par United. The Spaniard moved from Bayern Munich last summer and enjoyed arguably his best game for the club.
