Latest Liverpool news: Roberto Firmino has scored or assisted 100 goals under Jurgen Klopp

Roberto Firmino is one of the most important cogs in Jurgen Klopp’s Liverpool.

The Brazilian isn’t a regular centre-forward thanks to the hard work he puts in, but he has been amongst the goals too during his time at Anfield.

The forward hasn’t been in great scoring form but took his Premier League tally for the season to double digits in the win over Burnley.

The 27-year-old has 11 goals in the league with a couple in the Champions League, and his brace brought up an incredible stat.

Firmino has been involved in 100 goals under Klopp with 37 of them being assists.

The right man at the right place at the right time

The Brazilian has a knack of being in the right place at the right time. This was on show on Sunday as he scored his first goal from barely a yard out.

Mohamed Salah was brilliant down the right and his cross somehow made its way to Firmino who tapped home the equaliser.

The Brazilian was again in the right spot for our third goal. Salah raced clear after a poor clearance from the Burnley keeper, but was tackled.

Firmino raced onto the loose ball and calmly scored in an empty net to give us a 3-1 lead. The Reds went on to win the game 4-2 and kept the pressure on Manchester City.

The 27-year-old certainly knows how to celebrate a goal too, and many fans were delighted at the century for Bobby.
