What a strike!
That rocket of a shot from the Brazilian gave Liverpool its thrilling 2-1 victory over Stoke City. Everything about the finish was world class. The keeper didn't have a prayer in trying to stop it.
While we may not have any live action to enjoy right now, leave it to Firmino to remind us how special of a player he is. While that strike came three years ago, 'Bobby' keeps on bringing special moments to the LFC fans both on the road and at Anfield.
Once play resumes, we look forward to more goals like this from him.
