Liverpool vs Genk: Roberto Firmino pass has everyone losing their mind
Liverpool star Roberto Firmino pulled off an incredible rabona chipped pass in the first half of their game against Genk and every is losing their mind.
The Reds ended the first half with a useful 1-0 lead after Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain passed one in from 25 yards out following a Fabinho pass.
But they could have had two when Firmino send Sadio Mane through with the goalkeeper, who made a good save from the forward’s shot.
It’s not the missed chance or the save that has Liverpool fans going wild on Twitter, but what Roberto Firmino did to get the ball through to Mane.
Because it was a rabona chipped pass. Mad. Watch it at the bottom of this article!
We’re spoiled watching Liverpool because the Brazilian tends to do special things so often, but this chance he created has got to be up there with his best.
While this fixture is up and down – Genk had the ball in the back of the net and was ruled out due to VAR as Liverpool’s blushes were saved.
Jurgen Klopp had a few unhappy moments during the first 45 as Dejan Lovren and James Milner got exposed down the flanks by the pace of the home team’s forwards. The German will want to tighten things up at the back while reminding the midfield and attack of their responsibilities.
Andrew Robertson has got himself too far forward at times as well, and this might need moderating as Genk are looking to hunt on the break.
But Liverpool are always going to create plenty of chances, especially with Firmino doing his thing and Mohamed Salah back in the side.
Oxlade-Chamberlain got his first goal since he scored against Manchester City in the Champions League all that time ago, while Naby Keita has also looked bright and unpredictable going forward.
