The media on Super Cup win: 'Firmino one of world's premier forwards'

Olivier Giroud had given Frank Lampard’s side a first-half lead but Sadio Mane equalised and then scored a superb goal in extra-time to edge the Reds in front.

However, Jorginho quickly levelled from the spot and a penalty shootout was required to decide the victors.
