Game-changer Roberto Firmino proves too much for Newcastle as Liverpool pick up three points
ROBERTO FIRMINO put in a game-changing performance to help Liverpool maintain their perfect record at the top of the Premier League.
The striker was named on the bench having spent the International break with Brazil in the United States, but was called upon towards the end of the first half following an injury to Divock Origi.
The home side were shocked when Jetro Willems gave Newcastle an early lead. Christian Atsu sprinted forward on the counter-attack, timing his pass perfectly, giving Willems the space to blast right-footed past Liverpool goalkeeper Adrian.
