Coutinho Sets New EPL Record In Liverpool’s Comeback Win

1 Min Read

Philippe Coutinho became the Premier League’s top scoring Brazilian as the forward and compatriot Roberto Firmino helped Liverpool come from behind to win 2-1 at Stoke City on Saturday.

Jonathan Walters had put Stoke ahead shortly before the interval, heading home from close range after Xherdan Shaqiri’s cross rounded off a rapid counter-attack from the hosts.

Coutinho levelled with a first-time shot before Firmino smashed the bouncing ball beyond keeper Lee Grant after Georginio Wijnaldum’s pass.

Liverpool were indebted to Mignolet, however, the goalkeeper making a brilliant reaction save to deny Berahino when the striker looked certain to score from close range, and Klopp’s men are now nine points ahead of Arsenal in the race for top-four places.

Liverpool remain third in the Premier League table.
