Fabinho on 'special' Firmino, departing Reds and Southampton aim

Fabinho has revealed his personal gratitude to Roberto Firmino ahead of the No.9's last Liverpool fixture this weekend.

Firmino came off the bench to net a late equaliser against Aston Villa last Saturday, marking his final Anfield appearance for the Reds in memorable fashion before his departure this summer.

Fabinho has shared five of his compatriot’s eight years with the club, which will come to an end this Sunday when Jürgen Klopp’s side complete the Premier League campaign away to Southampton.

And the midfielder added to the tributes being paid to Firmino by explaining the impact his teammate and friend has had on his own career at Liverpool.
