Liverpool fans have taken to Twitter to drool over the latest World Cup performance of Dejan Lovren.
The centre-back played the full 120 minutes of normal and added time for Croatia on Sunday night as they needed a penalty shootout to secure a win against Denmark.
A section of Liverpool supporters were in social media awe of Lovren afterwards as he continued his excellent form in the heart of defence for Zlatko Dalic’s side.
Live 4 Liverpool has rounded up some of the best tweets:
Dejan Lovren has been incredible at the World Cup. Pass it on. #LFC

COMMENTARY
It is fair to say that Lovren has won over a big section of the Anfield faithful with his performances in the calendar year to date. The big centre-back was at rock bottom last October after suffering the humiliation of being substituted midway through the first half of Liverpool’s demoralising defeat against Tottenham at Wembley. But the 28-year-old fought back from a social media shellacking and a demoralising professional blow to deliver some outstanding displays alongside January signing Virgil van Dijk en route to Liverpool’s Champions League final defeat. With his confidence at an all-time high, the Croatian has been one of the outstanding defenders at the World Cup, for a team that are in the favourable half of the last-eight draw and have an excellent chance of progressing in the competition. That’s some turnaround.
