Thiago Alcantara is happy to be back in action with Liverpool.

The Spain international was in fine form on Thursday night, as the Reds coasted to a 2-0 win over strugglers Leicester City.

Speaking to LFCTV after the game, the 30-year-old said he was delighted to be back in action.

"For sure mate," Thiago said. "It's the most amazing feeling in the week because you train and training for sure is important. But nothing compares in our life than when we step on this grass and we play the game.

"I think it's a paradise situation when you assign the game 0-0, you are Liverpool and you have the desire to win the game.

"0-0 for us is like losing 1-0. So when we score at 1-0 [it] opens everything for us. We keep playing, we keep pushing and in the end we want to score more goals."
