Why Firmino is being praised by everybody on Twitter

Roberto Firmino isn’t your usual number 9….

We’ve known that ever since the quirky Brazilian arrived in 2015.

But tonight, he proved that racking up numbers simply isn’t on his agenda!

The forward had a chance to bury Sadio Mane’s chip into an open net, but instead, took a look at his team-mate and allowed the Senegalese’s effort to trickle in during the first-half!

It’s not the kind of behaviour you’d see in a playground, and we can think of many strikers who’d have happily gobbled up the free goal.

Here’s how fans reacted on Twitter!
