Liverpool fans wowed by Ki-Jana Hoever as Dutchman makes full debut for Wolves

Ki-Jana Hoever made his full debut for Wolves last night – and his performance was lapped up by Liverpool fans on social media.

The Dutchman was brought in to start against Manchester United at right wing-back at Old Trafford, with big-money signing Nelson Semedo rested.

The youngster has had to be patient since moving to Molineux from Anfield, which happened as part of the deal that saw Diogo Jota move to Merseyside.

But he got the nod from Nuno Espirito Santo last night, and definitely justified his selection.

Hoever was solid going up against Marcus Rashford and gave the England international very little on the night.

Rashford turned eventual match-winner, but there was nothing Hoever could do from where he was on the pitch in relation to the 23-year-old, whose effort deflected in off Romain Saiss.

Not only did Hoever contain Rashford well, but he also provided good support going forwards, although Wolves were stung by the lack of a target man up top.

Despite the cruel 1-0 defeat for Wolves, Hoever could hold his head high – and some Liverpool fans took to Twitter after the game.

Many lauded the £40,000-a-week star’s (Spotrac) performance, with some even questioning the decision to let him go:

Stamford Bridge Collapse at Goodison Park as Everyone defeat Chelsea to end a long.....

  Everton end Chelsea's long unbeaten run Chelsea spurned the chance to go top of the Premier League as Gylfi Sigurdsson's penalty earned Everton a vital 1-0 win in front of 2,000 fans at Goodison Park. A first defeat in 18 games, excluding penalty shootouts, leaves Frank Lampard's men still two points adrift of Tottenham and Liverpool at the top of the table. They can extend that advantage to five points when they are in action on Sunday. Victory lifts Everton up to seventh and within just one point of the top four. Reece James and Mason Mount hit the post for the visitors, but they were made to pay for one rash moment from goalkeeper Edouard Mendy as he bundled over Dominic Calvert-Lewin and Sigurdsson coolly slotted home the resultant spot-kick. A £220 million ($291 million) spending spree had seemingly transformed Chelsea into title contenders, but the Blues badly missed the creativity of the injured Hakim Ziyech and Christian Pulisic to break Everton down once the Toff

  Hundreds block streets in Armenia after PM ignores deadline to step down demonstrators blocked streets in Armenia's capital on Tuesday to mark the start of a protest campaign after Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan ignored their call to step down over a ceasefire deal struck with Azerbaijan. Hundreds chanted "Nikol, traitor" and "Armenia without Nikol" in the streets of Yerevan, answering an opposition call to protest after a deadline of midday Tuesday set by the opposition for Pashinyan to quit passed with him still in power. Pashinyan, who swept to power in a peaceful revolution in May 2018, accepted a Russian-brokered ceasefire deal last month to end a bloody conflict between Azerbaijan and ethnic Armenian forces over the Nagorno-Karabkh enclave and surrounding areas. Pashinyan's opponents want him out over what they say was his disastrous handling of the six-week conflict that handed Azerbaijan territorial gains. Pashinyan has accepted responsibility for
