Liverpool fans loved Roberto Firmino moment in 7-0 Crystal Palace thrashing

Liverpool supporters have been reacting to Roberto Firmino's brilliant goal against Crystal Palace.

The Reds extended their lead at the top of the Premier League table with a scintillating 7-0 victory over Palace at Selhurst Park.

Jurgen Klopp 's side opened the scoring very early on after Takumi Minamino netted his first league goal for the club.

It was soon 2-0 when Sadio Mane turned swiftly before smashing the ball past Vicente Guaita.

Firmino then made it three after a sensational counter-attack, before Jordan Henderson put the visitors 4-0 up just after half-time to put the game beyond any reasonable doubt.

Following the introduction of Mo Salah, it was soon 5-0, with the Egyptian setting up Firmino for his second goal of the game.

Salah found his team-mate in acres of space, and he chipped it over Guaita, with the forward then adding the Reds' sixth and seventh goals of the match in the final ten minutes.

But the third goal was arguably the pick of the bunch following a fantastic cross from Andy Robertson. The Scotland international picked Firmino out, before the Brazil striker took the perfect first touch and poked it past Guaita with the outside of his right boot.

Liverpool supporters have been reacting to their number nine's second goal in two games - before he later netted his third - and it's safe to say, it's one they love. The reaction led to 'what a goal' trending on Twitter and here are some of the best views from Liverpool fans.

It's been a relatively difficult start to the season for Firmino, with the introduction of Diogo Jota and the Portuguese forward's brilliant form. Jota often found himself in Klopp's side ahead of Firmino, but with the former now sidelined through injury, the Brazilian is again getting his chance.

It's now three goals in two matches for Firmino, after netting the dramatic late winner against Tottenham Hotspur in midweek.
