# Liverpool fans love how Firmino bamboozled Wan-Bissaka in win over Man United

Roberto Firmino was a key man in Liverpool’s [2-0 victory at home to Manchester United](https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/51080695) 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](https://twitter.com/RoamingCF/status/1219050085008494598?s=20) 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](https://tribuna.com/en/liverpoolfc/news/3534988/) 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](https://www.whoscored.com/Players/318871/Show/Trent-Alexander-Arnold) in the Premier League this season, Wan-Bissaka has [one and none](https://www.whoscored.com/Players/331924/Show/Aaron-Wan-Bissaka) respectively.
