Roberto Firmino scores Liverpool’s first goal

Roberto Firmino continued his impressive form for Liverpool as he equalized with a header off Henderson’s cross early in the second half and later drew a foul that won a penalty, which turned out to be the match-winner from James Milner.

Despite having the likes of Sturridge, Origi, and Ings in the squad, Klopp has shown his preference to playing Firmino in the centre of the attack this season. Adam Lallana’s early injury meant Firmino had to move to a deeper role in the game behind Sturridge, but the Brazilian didn’t let the role change affect his play and was central to both goals in the match.
