Shaqiri hoping for more from hat-trick hero Firmino

Liverpool attacker Xherdan Shaqiri hopes Roberto Firmino can build on his "fully deserved" hat-trick against Arsenal in the Premier League.

Firmino has struggled for goals this season but took his tally to seven in the league with a treble in the 5-1 victory at Anfield on Saturday.

The Brazil international helped the league leaders come from behind after Ainsley Maitland-Niles' opener and completed his hat-trick when Mohamed Salah – who added to Sadio Mane's goal to extend Liverpool's lead – allowed him to take a second-half penalty.
