Ruben Neves appears to send Marcus Rashford message with celebration vs Liverpool

Wolves midfielder Ruben Neves appeared as though he was trying to make a point with his goal celebration against Liverpool on Saturday.

Julen Lopetegui's side piled further misery on Liverpool by putting them to the sword in comfortable fashion. A fifth minute own-goal from Joel Matip gave Wolves the perfect start, ahead of doubling their advantage just seven minutes later through January signing Craig Dawson.

With just under 20 minutes of normal time left on the clock, Wolves put the gloss on an impressive victory, lifting themselves out of the relegation places, courtesy of a stylish finish from talisman Neves. He stroked the ball past Alisson after connecting with Adama Traore's low cross and he raced away to celebrate in style.

Neves ran towards the corner pointing at his temple - his trademark celebration - before being mobbed by his teammates. Neves then turned in the direction of the home fans and pointed towards his temple again, before pointing to his chest as if to let everybody know that he was the one to trademark the goal celebration that has been popularised by Marcus Rashford in recent weeks.

Starting with his winning goal at Wolves on New Year's Eve, Rashford has celebrated most of his recent goals by pointing to his temple.

During the second half against Jurgen Klopp's side, Wolves shared an image on Twitter of Neves celebrating the third goal of the game against Liverpool and wrote: "Nobody does it better."
