Liverpool boss Klopp: Firmino goal most special of the seven

Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp has admitted Roberto Firmino scoring in their 7-0 win over Manchester United was special.

The Brazilian, who has announced he is leaving the club in the summer, netted the seventh and last goal of one of their most famous drubbings of United.

Braces from Cody Gakpo, Darwin Nunez and Mohamed Salah had given the Reds a six goal lead prior to that moment.

“Bobby tonight was the most special moment," Klopp told reporters.

“It was not an easy decision for him. The reception he got was absolutely outstanding.

“With all the wonderful goals he scored, that's the goal he pretty much wanted the most."
