The Brazilian had earned a lot of praises for the way he played against Chelsea not only from the fans about also the football analysists. BCC Garth Crooks also praised the footballer and wrote a column. “I think VAR is going to be the death of us all in the end. Nevertheless, Liverpool used the technology to their benefit and Roberto Firmino in particular. There is no doubt in my mind that when VAR comes into action one team suffers and the other gains a massive psychological advantage.”

With this, Liverpool won the game by 2-1. It was Trent Alexander Arnold who netted the first goal at the 14th minute of the game and just less than 20 minutes later Firmino contributed with yet another one and put the team on 2-0. N’Golo Kante was the one who netted a goal at the 71st minute but that wasn’t enough to lead the team to a win. Liverpool stands on number one of the EPL 2019-20 points table with 18 points in their kitty.
