Liverpool fans wild on social media.After a drab 0-0 draw at Anfield last week, the Reds scored the opening goal of the two-legged League Cup semi-final against Arsenal on Thursday evening.And without star man Mohamed Salah or midfield maestro Sadio Mane in the side, it was left to Roberto Firmino to provide the magic.The Reds no.9 has endured a frustrating time so far this season, often having to deputise for Jota in the lone striker role.But with Salah and Mane both away at the Africa Cup of Nations, the duo found themselves starting together for the third successive game.Though Firmino and Jota's link-up play fooled fans into thinking they'd been playing alongside one another for years.Dropping into midfield the Brazilian cushioned a cute first-time backheel into the path of Trent Alexander-Arnold who fed Jota down the left channel.Turning Takehiro Tomiyasu inside out, Jota cut inside to the edge of the area before applying a neat finish under Arsenal 'keeper Aaron Ramsdale.And while the finish was excellent, the flick from Firmino was on another level with fans marvelling at the Brazilain's wizardry on social media.How good was Roberto Firmino's flick?

Let us know in the comments section."That’s filthy Firmino," said one supporter."That touch from Firmino in the build-up," commented another, alongside three fire emojis."Brilliant, direct, positive drive into the box but did you see that back heel assist from Firmino?" replied a third.Want to be on the ball with all of the latest football news?Well then sign up for the brilliant Daily Star football email newsletter!From the latest transfer news to the agenda-setting stories, get it all in your email inbox - don't miss a thing.It only takes a matter of seconds.Simply.
