OPINION
When faced with a wall of opposition defenders on the edge of their penalty area, many players would panic, but not Liverpool’s Roberto Firmino. The Brazilian was in great form once again and quickly left Dani Ceballos behind after the Spaniard looked to close him down by simply just scooping the ball over his head in the blink of an eye. Although he didn’t score in the 3-1 victory over the Gunners at Anfield, Firmino looked a threat all evening, continuing his early-season form. The 27-year-old has averaged four shots per game so far according to WhoScored, as well as completing 2.7 dribbles – helping him be involved in two goals in the opening three games. Liverpool posted a video of Firmino’s skill on their official Twitter account on Sunday, and many Reds’ fans went wild over the moment, with one saying that the Brazilian is the best player in the world to watch right now.

There's not a player in the world better than Firmino at the moment. His touch and vision is sublime – an absolute joy to watch.
