7.7

About this goal

Firmino drives through the middle at pace and leaves not one, not two, but three Arsenal players on their back before slotting nicely into the net.

Ratings

Aesthetically Pleasing 24/30

 

A lovely, slaloming run from Firmino, who really does hold a beautiful command over the ball.

Technical Difficulty 21/30

 

It is not too difficult to make Shkodran Mustafi look as daft as he does here, but impeccable close control nonetheless from Firmino.

Uniqueness 16/20

 

Three opposition players are sent to the floor due to his composure, which doesn't happen often.

Importance 8/10

 

Sent Liverpool nine points clear at the top of the table.

Standard of Opposition 8/10

FootballCritic Verdict

7.7

A memorable goal indeed as Firmino makes a mockery of the Arsenal defence, but on that day especially, it wasn't hard to do.
