Liverpool fans won't soon forget Roberto Firmino's first goal for the club.
Firmino scored for Liverpool against Manchester City on Saturday in the Premier League, completing a beautiful team move. Firmino's goal came amid Liverpool's finest passage of play this season and and was perhaps the standout moment of the game.
Emre Can started the decisive move with a back-heel pass to Philippe Coutinho, who swiftly found Firmino inside Manchester City's penalty area. Goalkeeper Joe Hart left his line to interrupt the play, and Firmino scored with easiest of tap-ins.
Firmino, 24, joined Liverpool last summer in a £29 million ($45.5 million) transfer from German club Hoffenheim. The Brazilian attacker failed to score in his first 13 outings for the Reds but had looked increasingly potent in recent games coming into the clash with Manchester City.
Firmino's goal gave Liverpool a 3-0 lead, but Sergio Aguero scored one for Manchester City late in the first half.
