Fans go wild over Martin Tyler's reaction to Roberto Firmino scoring for Liverpool against Spurs

Sky Sports commentator Martin Tyler has been accused of celebrating Roberto Firmino's goal for Liverpool against Tottenham.

The Brazilian put the Premier League leaders ahead in the first half with a superb turn and finish past Paulo Gazzaniga after he was fed by Mohamed Salah inside the penalty area.

Few fans could have argued with the goal, with Jurgen Klopp's side the dominant team throughout the opening exchanges.

However, there was one part of the goal that particularly irked rival fans and it wasn't on the field.

Listening viewers are all questioning why Tyler appeared to celebrate Firmino's goal as he put the ball into the back of the net.

The Sky Sports commentator has previously been accused of being a Manchester United fan and being biased against Liverpool, however, this time it's the reverse after his small outburst.

Tyler appeared to cheer "Yessss" as the ball struck the net, which has left rival supporters disgruntled.

Not to mention the constant referral of Fimrino as "Bobby Firmino" which also seems to have infuriated listening customers.

Here's a full recap of what is being said online.

A win for Liverpool would extend their lead to 16 points at the top of the Premier League table, with a game in hand.

Spurs, meanwhile, would finish Saturday eighth in the table, nine points adrift of Chelsea in fourth.
