‘Firmino will get his goal at Anfield’ – Liverpool striker backed by Robertson after VAR frustration

The Reds full-back retains full faith in the ability of a Brazil international striker to find the target, both at home and on the road

Roberto Firmino has been urged to remain patient in his pursuit of a first Anfield goal of the season, with Andy Robertson backing the Liverpool forward after seeing his team-mate end up on the wrong end of a contentious VAR decision against Manchester United.

The Reds’ South American striker thought that he had brought a barren run on Merseyside to a close against the Red Devils.

A stunning curling effort arched its way into the corner of David de Gea’s net after Virgil van Dijk had tangled with the United goalkeeper under a high ball.
