Roberto Firmino thrilled with 'emotional' Liverpool goal: I'm grateful to God for what I built here

Roberto Firmino was delighted with his goal for Liverpool in their 2-2 draw with Arsenal on Sunday.

Firmino jumped from the bench to head home a late equaliser at Anfield.

He told ESPN Brasil: “I won't say much, because otherwise I'll get emotional.

“Because it's a beautiful legacy with a beautiful history, at such a big club. I'm very happy and grateful to God for everything we have built here. But it's a new situation for me, I've never been through it.

“I've been praying a lot for God to keep me and help me in this process. I'm working hard, always ready to help the team, and we're together until the end. I want to finish well here with my team-mates."
