Liverpool 1-1 Aston Villa: Roberto Firmino's farewell will see a Reds 'rebuild'

As chants of 'Si Senor' rang around Anfield on Saturday evening, Liverpool's departing hero Roberto Firmino took time to soak in the serenading of the home crowd.

The Brazilian made his 361st appearance in a red shirt and almost provided a fairytale finish in his final home game, scoring a last-minute equaliser in the 1-1 draw against Aston Villa.

But despite 10 minutes of added time, the 31-year-old could not conjure another magical moment which would have taken the roof off the stadium.

When Firmino leaves the pitch at Southampton on the final day of the season next Sunday, he will do so as one of Liverpool's greats in the Premier League era.
