Jurgen Klopp has confirmed that Liverpool are in talks to extend Roberto Firmino 's contract and the Reds striker wasted no time in responding.
Firmino took just six minutes to open the scoring in Liverpool's rousing 3-1 win against Southampton on Saturday, the perfect way to prove his worth to the Anfield hierarchy. The 31-year-old Brazilian controversially left out of his country's squad for the World Cup, met Andy Robertson's inviting free-kick with a flicked header which saw the ball nestle in the back of Southampton goalkeeper Gavin Bauznu's net.
Although two goals from Darwin Nunez were needed after Che Adams quickly equalised for the Saints, there's no doubting that Firmino took his chance at a crucial time.
