Liverpool midfielder Thiago Alcantara completed over 20 passes more than Everton's entire team in the Merseyside derby at Anfield on Sunday afternoon.
Everton went to Liverpool with a clear game plan of trying to contain their title-chasing neighbours and enjoyed some success on the counterattack.
Liverpool were allowed to have much of the ball throughout and this ensured Thiago was able to control the tempo of proceedings for much of the game.
Able to get his foot on the with little pressure from Everton's deep-lying midfielders, Thiago completed a staggering 120 passes to Everton's measly 94.
Liverpool eventually won 2-0 on Sunday.
