Liverpool's Roberto Firmino is "the best number nine" in the Premier League, according to Watford's Troy Deeney, with a fellow striker in awe of the skills the Brazilian brings to the pitch in the wake of another stellar performance against Newcastle on Saturday.
The Reds went a goal behind to a superb early effort from Jetro Willems, but two goals from Sadio Mane put Jurgen Klopp's men back in front before Firmino teed up Mohamed Salah with a sublime back-heel pass for the Egyptian to tie up the result at 3-1.
Firmino actually started from the bench, with Divock Origi preferred in attack, but Deeney, no stranger to the rigours of being a front-man in the English top-flight, feels that the 27-year-old is amongst the greatest the Premier League has to offer.
