Ox on Firmino: 'I absolutely love him - he's such a joy to play with'

Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain considers it a 'joy' to play alongside the incredibly selfless and skilful Roberto Firmino.

The No.15 was a beneficiary of Firmino's creativity to net the opening goal in Saturday's 4-0 victory over Southampton in the Premier League.

Oxlade-Chamberlain received possession after an audacious backheel flick from his Brazilian teammate before drilling past Alex McCarthy.

Speaking about the assist for his strike, Oxlade-Chamberlain told Liverpoolfc.com: "It becomes a little bit normal when you play with that guy.

"That's the way he plays and he does those magnificent things all the time.
