Many would've thought Roberto Firmino's crucial equaliser against Aston Villa in his Anfield bow would be his final contribution but he had one more trick up his sleeve.
The Brazilian's trophy-laden eight-year stint will come to an end in the summer after deciding to call time on his Reds career. Firmino has scored 110 goals in 361 appearances on Merseyside, adding one of his most crucial contributions to keep their faint hopes of Champions League football alive at the weekend.
It remains to be seen where the forward, transformed under Jurgen Klopp, will go next but the exit has been in the pipeline after it was confirmed that he would not extend his stay on Merseyside beyond an eighth year.

As a final parting gift from Liverpool fans, Firmino was immortalised and joined an exclusive club with murals in the vicinity of the hallowed Anfield turf. The 31-year-old bid farewell in an emotional send off in front of the Kop on Saturday following their 1-1 draw against Villa in the final home match of the season.
On Sunday, a party was thrown for the former Hoffenheim with captain Jordan Henderson leading the tributes. And on Wednesday, footage was released by Sky Sports Germany reporter Florian Plettenberg showing the contents of the gift which were handed to 200 guests.
In a tweet, he said: "He prepared 200 gift boxes for his farewell. He gave them to his guests on Sunday evening in Liverpool - including club employees, teammates, friends and family.
"The gifts included a special shirt signed by him and a specially created perfume by Firmino. The party was very emotional. Talks with potential new clubs will start now. Out of respect for Liverpool, he has so far not considered other teams. #LFC."
