Milner in awe of Liverpool teammate Firmino

Liverpool midfielder James Milner was in awe of teammate Roberto Firmino after the Brazilian came off the bench to score the winning goal against PSG in the Champions League on Tuesday night.

Firmino was recovering from an eye injury sustained on the weekend but managed to get on the pitch to score in stoppage time and seal a dramatic 3-2 win for the Reds.

He told BT Sport: "I can't say enough good things about Bobby (Roberto Firmino). To come off the bench after his injury at the weekend is incredible really."

Milner added: "It is the perfect start for us. Hopefully we can build on that.

"I think it would have been very disappointing not to win. They didn't create too many and we had a number of chances.
