Ghana international, Daniel Amartey turned out arguably one of his best performances this season as Leicester City beat Liverpool on Tuesday, December 28.
Liverpool came into the game as the favourites at the back of an impressive run in the Premier League since losing to West Ham United back in November.
The Merseyside club has won all but one of their games since them across all competitions including a penalty shootout win over the Foxes in the Carabao Cup.
Liverpool had also scored in all of their games in the past eight months, boasting of a wide attack including Mohamed Salah and Sadio Mane.
However, Amartey, who was paired with Nigeria’s Wilfred Ndidi in central defence delivered a masterclass against one of the best attacks in the world as his side kept a clean sheet against Liverpool.
His performance on Tuesday night earned him lots of plaudits on Twitter as he joined the trends.
