Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain is rapidly becoming a fans' favourite at Liverpool, following his £35m move from Arsenal.

The midfielder scored in Liverpool's 2-1 victory against Manchester City on Wednesday evening and impressed supporters with his actions both on and off the pitch.

At the end of the game, after Liverpool players had finished celebrating with their fans, the former Arsenal man stayed and approached the fans - despite the best efforts of City stewards to stop him - and gave his shirt to a young fan before pumping both fists in the air, which was greeted by a roar from the visiting supporters.

His work both on and off the pitch last night demonstrate his fantastic attitude towards fans, which has also been widely recognised by Liverpool fans on Twitter.

Some have even tipped the 24-year-old to be a future Liverpool captain, with others labelling the star as a cult hero at Anfield, despite having only joined the club this season.

Below is a sample of exactly what Oxlade-Chamberlain's attitude means to Liverpool fans, on what was one of the best nights the football club has enjoyed for several years.

Liverpool are in the draw for the semi finals of the UEFA Champions League, which will take place on Saturday. They have already been joined by AS Roma, who produced a stunning comeback to knock Spanish giants Barcelona out of the competition.
