The number nine scored his first hat-trick for ​Liverpool as the Reds crushed Unai Emery's Arsenal 5-1. 

Firmino's first goal was a trademark 'no look' tap-in following a mistake from the Arsenal defence. His second goal came following an outstanding weaving run through the middle of the Gunners, leaving defenders helpless on the ground. The third came from a penalty that he put away with aplomb.

His third goal also put his name in the record books by becoming the highest scoring Brazilian in ​Premier League history.

Their number 9 blasted a low driven shot across the goal, scoring the winner in the 92nd minute - a vital goal as Liverpool managed to progress from the group ahead of Napoli on goals scored alone.
