Philippe Coutinho has a reputation for scoring wonderful goals and he did just that to open the scoring for Liverpool against Swansea at Anfield on Tuesday.

With one member of the 'Fab Four' benched in the shape of Sadio Mane, the other three took it upon themselves to make sure the Senegalese wasn't missed and they did just that as they combined to give Liverpool the lead after just six minutes.

Roberto Firmino won the ball back in midfield and fed Mohamed Salah, the Egyptian quickly moved the ball out of his feet before sweeping an effort into the top corner from the edge of the Swansea box.

It looked effortless from the Brazilian, who could barely hide his delight at the goal.
