Was Bobby the most chill man on the pitch against City?
Was Liverpool forward Roberto Firmino the most chill man on the pitch after Mohamed Salah scored against Manchester City?
Firmino is earning a reputation for habit for scoring no-look goals, but what about a no-look celebration? This is an exciting new development.
And the Brazilian pulled one off after Salah hit the first goal of the Reds’ remarkable 3-0 victory against City.
While the Egyptian wizard was standing, arms outstretched, raveling in the love raining down on him from Anfield, his mate Bobby took a more chill approach.

Manager Jurgen Klopp has little option but to pick the dynamic front three of Firmino, Salah and Sadio Mane every week and they all work incredible hard for each other.
How they weave havoc in the opposition final third is a major part of Liverpool’s success this season and keeping the trio at the club must now be a priority of Klopp and the board.
The next game on the radar is a crunch Merseyside derby against an Everton side who have experienced mixed fortunes this campaign. After spending £100m+ on transfers, fans have seen very little return on investment.
