Roberto Firmino celebrates after scoring against the champions

The Brazilian forward started on the left with Sturridge being given the striker's role against Leicester. The Reds created havoc for the champions and if not for Kasper Schmeichel, things could have been worse for them at Anfield.

Firmino opened the scoring after a smart first touch let him beat Robert Huth on the turn, he then finished smartly to give Liverpool a 1-0 lead early on.

Firmino created many chances as he was a constant menace to the Leicester defense. He later scored Liverpool's fourth goal courtesy of Sadio Mane's unselfishness. Firmino is establishing himself as Liverpool's most important player under Jurgen Klopp with Sadio Mane and Philippe Coutinho following the 24-year-old.
