About this goal
Roberto Fimino drags then flicks a pass exquisitely into the Mo Salah's path, who duly finishes. A rare example of the assist being better than the goal.
Ratings
Aesthetically Pleasing 27/30
Another swift Liverpool team move, and even though Salah finishes it off, this goal is all about Roberto Firmino's outrageously skillful flick while in full flow.
Technical Difficulty 27/30
The finish from Salah is composed but not many players could pull off Firmino's skill.
Uniqueness 16/20
You will be hard pressed to find an assist as good as this this season.
Importance 6/10
Final goal in a routine win over Newcastle
Standard of Opposition 6/10
Newcastle
FootballCritic Verdict
Firmino's contribution is glorious and it is probably the assist of the season.
