What Liverpool players and staff did to Roberto Firmino at full time in front of the away end

Roberto Firmino was celebrated in front of the travelling Liverpool supporters by his team-mates at the King Power Stadium.

The Brazilian watched on as the Reds made it seven wins on the bounce with a 3-0 win over Leicester City thanks to two goals from Curtis Jones and a sublime free-kick from Trent Alexander-Arnold.

In the second half, the Reds faithful could be heard singing Firmino's song for a solid 15 minutes with the striker having just two more games remaining as a Liverpool player.

Firmino was absent from the Liverpool squad after only just returning to training following a muscle injury, but he opted to travel to Leicester to cheer on his team-mates.

The 31-year-old was clapping the away fans at the end of the game as they sung his song before the Liverpool players danced with him and pushed him closer to his adoring crowd.

If fit and selected, Firmino will play for Liverpool one final time at Anfield on Saturday afternoon before the expiry of his contract in what is sure to be an emotional occasion against Aston Villa.
