Firmino proud to sign off from Anfield with Liverpool goal

Roberto Firmino was delighted with a goalscoring farewell at Anfield for Liverpool's draw with Aston Villa.

Firmino struck the equaliser in his final home game as a Liverpool player.

He later said: "In the beginning when I arrived it was hard to adapt to the climate, the football, everything. As for every player, it's the same.

“But thank you God, we achieved everything here, we won everything together. Without my teammates, my family, the manager, you cannot do this. I'm very proud of the history, for everything we achieved together.

“Yes, unfortunately we didn't get the win, it wasn't the result that you want.

“But the last game at home with the fans, my family here, everyone, friends, I was very emotional and happy for this, to score my last goal at home. With this shirt, this big club, I'm very happy."
