Firmino the conductor for Mane and Salah's magic at Liverpool

Virgil van Dijk labelled him the greatest teammate he has played with. Jurgen Klopp doesn't believe there is a match in world football for his "exceptional" combination of skill and effort. Andrew Robertson said he can "do it all" and Liverpool wouldn't trade him for anyone.

If you were somehow still in the dark about the luminary qualities of Roberto Firmino, Liverpool's 3-1 swatting away of Newcastle United at Anfield on Saturday afternoon was the latest stage to illustrate the Brazil international's brilliance.

He was introduced on 37 minutes owing to Divock Origi suffering a twisted ankle, but was comfortably -- and strikingly -- man of the match.
