REVEALED: Amazing stats for Liverpool's all-action Firmino (better tackle rate than Cahill)

Liverpool ace Roberto Firmino is dominating the stats at Anfield.

The Daily Mail says Firmino last season completed 58 tackles – more than Gary Cahill, Jan Vertonghen, Shkodran Mustafi, Harry Maguire and Joel Matip, to name a few.

As well as being a leader in the tackles table, Firmino has covered 48.3km this season – more than any other Liverpool player by at least 1km.

Last season was no different. In 2016-17 he was the third highest in Liverpool's squad for distances covered and those above him played more matches (James Milner and Nathaniel Clyne).

Firmino turns 26 in a week and scored 10 goals in his first Premier League season with Liverpool, then 11 in his second.
