Liverpool ace Philippe Coutinho becomes the joint top Brazilian goal scorer in Premier League history with strike against Bournemouth

No Brazilian has now scored more goals in the Premier League than Liverpool's star man Philippe Coutinho.

The attacking-midfielder levelled the record of 29 goals, held by former Middlesbrough man Juninho, following his first half strike against Bournemouth at Anfield.

Coutinho popped up on the cusp of half-time to slot home for Jurgen Klopp's side, levelling the scoreline following Benik Afobe's opener in the early stages of the tie.

It was a case of Samba link-up as fellow Brazilian Roberto Firmino slalomed his way through the Cherries' defence to slip in the advancing Coutinho 12-yards out.
