Liverpool supporters may still be waiting for Federico Chiesa's first goal for the Reds, but they've had a glimpse of his potential celebration style. The Italian forward is yet to make his Premier League debut, having been named as a substitute once again in the Wolves match.
Chiesa has featured in three games so far, including starting in the midweek League Cup victory over West Ham. His first appearance in the Anfield starting line-up was marked with an assist, though he had to bide his time for more game time on Saturday.
That's not to say he wasn't engaged in the proceedings. Liverpool didn't quite hit its stride in the first half but managed to secure a 1-0 lead at half-time courtesy of Ibrahima Konate's header.

Konate would later share some blame for Wolves' equalizing goal but was visibly thrilled after scoring his second goal of the season and his maiden Premier League goal. Chiesa was equally ecstatic.
The 26-year-old was spotted celebrating fervently from the bench alongside his new colleagues, as observed by journalists. Chiesa was signed as a rotational option for Mohamed Salah, following a challenging few years.
The Euro 2020 champion suffered a cruciate ligament injury just six months after Italy's triumph and has since contended with several subsequent injuries. Despite this, he managed to play 37 games for Juventus last season.
However, he found himself sidelined from the first-team squad by new manager Thiago Motta this summer and didn't see a minute of play - for either club or country - until his Liverpool debut against AC Milan 11 days ago.
Chiesa has only managed to clock up around 80 minutes of game time as Arne Slot gradually reintroduces him to match action. The head coach indicated after the Milan trip that he anticipates players who have had limited game time, including Chiesa, to feature more prominently in future matches.
