They might have left it late, but Liverpool got the job done in the end. An away game against Crystal Palace in the Premier League has one particular nightmare the Reds would be keen to forget ever existed – that unbelievable 3-3 draw back in 2014 which effectively ended their title hopes.
This season, Jurgen Klopp’s side are once again desperate to end their title hoodoo, and would no doubt have been itching to ensure they didn’t suffer a repeat of what has happened before at Selhurst Park.
After Wilfried Zaha netted an equaliser with less than eight minutes to go, there may have been fears that the Merseyside club were set to lose some crucial points. But, Brazil international Roberto Firmino stepped up to the plate, to poke home what would end up being the winner.
After seeing the 5 foot 11 star’s goal-scoring display, Liverpool fans took to Twitter to hail the former Hoffenheim man for rising to the occasion.
Many supporters of the Anfield side hailed his abilities as a number nine, with one fan, in particular, insisting that he is the greatest Brazilian to have graced the Premier League.
You can certainly make a case for him being the best in the world in terms of creation from a centre forward position. He’s assisted eight goals already in 2019/20 which is ahead of players like Lionel Messi.
