1. Roberto Firmino (Liverpool)

Roberto Firmino was the star man in Liverpool’s extraordinary 5-4 win at Norwich.

The Brazilian netted his second brace in three matches with two strikes as Liverpool overcame Norwich City in a 5-4 thriller at Carrow Road.

Slipped in by James Milner, the ex-Hoffenheim star showed great composure to put Jurgen Klopp’s side ahead with Canaries goalkeeper Declan Rudd only managing to divert the ball in off his foot.

After going 3-1 down, his deft touch allowed Jordan Henderson to fire one back for the Reds, before he then 
drew the two sides level as he raced onto Adam Lallana’s through ball and lofted home over Rudd.

Eventually the away side ran out 5-4 winners, thanks to a last-gasp winner from Lallana.
