Liverpool star netted opener in win at Anfield.
Roberto Firmino could be coming into form at just the right time.
The Brazilian scored for his national team last week against Czech Republic, and then netted for Liverpool against Tottenham at Anfield.
It was the first of two goals for the Reds in a vital 2-1 victory.
Firmino getting back on the goal trail is crucially important for Liverpool’s hopes of silverware.
Prior to last week, Firmino had failed to score in seven of his eight previous matches in all competitions.
He has 14 goals for the Reds this season in total. Last season he tallied 25.
It showed what a bargain Liverpool got when they signed him for just £29 million in 2015.
There is still hope for the Brazilian to get close to this figure, even if it’s a stretch to believe he will equal or surpass it.
Firmino’s early strike was lost in the commotion of the Reds’ late winner.
If it goes on to spark a run of goals to help Liverpool in the Champions League and Premier League, it could be their most significant development.
