Liverpool fans have taken to Twitter to hail Xherdan Shaqiri following his display in the 2-0 win over Fulham Sunday.

Xherdan Shaqiri is proving a sensation at Liverpool following his summer move from Stoke City.

The Switzerland midfielder arrived at Anfield in July from the Championship-bound Potters, after the Reds triggered his £13m release clause (BBC).

Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp has used Shaqiri sparingly so far this season, with the 27-year-old starting just two Premier League games prior to Sunday’s home encounter against Fulham.

Shaqiri was named, however, in the starting XI against the Cottagers and Klopp’s decision reaped dividends as the player put in an impressive display in the 2-0 home win.

His standout contribution was a stunning volley from a pinpoint Andrew Robertson cross for the hosts’ second, which effectively killed off Fulham’s hopes of getting back into the game.

Shaqiri’s all-round display was also impressive, with 29 successful passes in the opposition half and four shots on goal – two of which were on target.

Following the full-time whistle, many of the Liverpool fans took to Twitter to sing the Swiss maestro’s praises:

Shaqiri has made 11 appearances in all competitions for Liverpool so far this season, scoring twice and registering three assists in 470 minutes of action.

Up next for Liverpool is a trip to Watford Saturday week.
