GIVE THE BALL TO BOBBY
While the Champions League clash with Atletico Madrid ultimately ended
in disappointment it did at least banish one of football’s more unlikely runs.
Astonishingly, Roberto Firmino had been only 20 days away from going a full year
without a goal at Anfield. That crazy stat came to an end when the Brazilian, who
has netted 10 goals away from home this season, struck early in extra-time to give
Liverpool a 2-1 lead on aggregate before the Spanish side’s late comeback.
