Xherdan Shaqiri delighted for Roberto Firmino

Xherdan Shaqiri is delighted for Roberto Firmino after the Brazilian scored a hat-trick against Arsenal during Liverpool’s 5-1 victory at Anfield yesterday.

The Brazilian has not been scoring as many goals as he would have liked this season, but his persistence saw him score his first hat-trick for Liverpool against the London club.

Teammate Shaqiri is hoping Firmino can take confidence from yesterday and build on what was a superb performance.

“It was fully deserved. He had a very good game,” Shaqiri told LiverpoolFC.com post-match.

“It’s always good to have people who can score in the team, he scored the second one very nicely. He fully deserved to score a hat-trick and I’m happy for him. I hope he can keep going like this.

“It was a top game; obviously Arsenal have their quality and you can see that with the first goal they scored.

“It was a little wake-up call for us, we were straight on after we conceded and scored for 1-1 – that was the big point for us to change the game and to win in the end.”
