Roberto Firmino’s outrageous skill vs Cardiff City – Video

Published 27 October 2018

Roberto Firmino pulled off an outrageous bit of skill in the first half against Cardiff City during Saturday’s Premier League meeting at Anfield.

The Brazilian, who started in a deeper role for the Reds against Neil Warnock’s side, was pinned back against his own touch-line whilst tracking back.

Firmino looked to have conceded the ball or given away a corner as he fell to the ground against the on-rushing Víctor Camarasa.

However, he pulled off a crazy bit of skill, nutmegging the Spaniard with a no-look back-heel.

The Reds currently lead 1-0 at the break having dominated possession, with Mohamed Salah scoring his third in two games.

Watch Firmino’s excellent skill in all its glory below…
