Firmino & Salah continue fruitful partnership despite Liverpool’s defeat to Manchester United

Brazilian star Roberto Firmino has now assisted Mohamed Salah on 18 occasions across all competitions for Liverpool since they first played together in the 2017-18 season.

This after Firmino aided the Egypt international twice as the Reds surrendered a one-goal lead to crash out of the FA Cup following Sunday’s 3-2 defeat to Manchester United at Old Trafford.

In the five-goal thriller, settled by Bruno Fernandes' sumptuous freekick with 12 minutes left, Salah gave Jurgen Klopp’s men the lead in the 18th minute.
