Liverpool picked up an important win on Monday night, beating Wolverhampton Wanderers 1-0 at Molineux.

The Reds have been poor in the Premier League of late, but they battled their way to a narrow victory on the road.

Rather unsurprisingly, Diogo Jota came back to haunt Wolves, firing past compatriot Rui Patricio as he won the game on his first return to Molineux.

This was a largely positive night for Liverpool, especially as they kept a clean sheet, but it wasn’t all sunshine and roses for the Reds.

Thiago endured another mixed night in a Liverpool shirt as he looks to hit top form, and Jurgen Klopp decided to substitute him for Naby Keita in the second half.

The Spaniard looked completely baffled as he trudged off the pitch, seemingly feeling that he didn’t at all deserve to be taken off.

Liverpool fans disagreed massively, believing that he was red card waiting to happen given that he was already on a yellow and walking a tightrope.

Fans reminded Thiago of that fact, noting that the substitution wasn’t all that surprising, with some mixed verdicts on his performance as a whole.
