Photo: Roberto Firmino shows off his wheels ahead of Liverpool v Newcastle

Liverpool midfielder Roberto Firmino posts a photo of his sports car on Snapchat.

Roberto Firmino is one of Liverpool’s smoothest operators on the pitch and the Brazilian appears to have good taste in cars, too.

The South American helped the Reds secure a famous 4-0 victory over their derby rivals Everton in the 226th Merseyside derby at Anfield on Wednesday night.

Firmino could line up against Newcastle United in their home Premier League clash on Saturday afternoon, although Jurgen Klopp could rest his star player ahead of Thursday’s trip to Villarreal in the first leg of their Europa League semi-finals.

The 24-year-old is Liverpool’s top goal-scorer this term after a return of 10 Premier League goals following his £29m move to the Merseyside outfit from Bundesliga club Hoffenheim last summer.

And Firmino appears to have treated himself to an impressive sports car – red, naturally – which he posed next to for Snapchat photo on Wednesday afternoon.

Liverpool are in seventh place in the Premier League table and nine points behind fourth-placed Arsenal.
