Neville hails Liverpool matchwinner Firmino: Every manager would love to work with him

Manchester United legend Gary Neville was full of praise for Liverpool striker Roberto Firmino after victory at Tottenham.

Firmino proved the matchwinner on the day.

"Any manager in the world would love to have Firmino as their centre forward," he said.

And when reviewing his first-half strike the pundit was lost for words and simply muttered: "Firmino for me, just what a player. What a player."

The three points means Jurgen Klopp's side have won 20 of their 21 games this season - the best start by any team to a Premier League campaign.
