Roberto Firmino was a key man in Liverpool’s 2-0 victory at home to Manchester United on Sunday.
The Brazilian was arguably unfortunate to have a goal disallowed by VAR and he led the line impressively throughout.
One moment that really caught the eye was a dazzling piece of footwork to bamboozle United defender Aaron Wan-Bissaka in the second half.
One fan got close-up footage of the incident, leading to Liverpool supporters mocking Wan-Bissaka on Twitter, as well as lauding Firmino’s brilliance.

Read Liverpool Verdict
Some United fans have tried to create some sort of rivalry between Trent Alexander-Arnold and Wan-Bissaka, claiming the latter is superior.
This is a laughable claim, however, with the Liverpool star on another level, in my opinion.
Granted, Wan-Bissaka is probably the better defender, but then again, he looked all at sea on Sunday, not least up against Firmino.
Alexander-Arnold possesses so much more attacking quality and all-round influence on the team – I don’t think it should even be up for debate.
While the Liverpool man has nine assists and two goals in the Premier League this season, Wan-Bissaka has one and none respectively.
