Despite two fewer league appearances last season, Firmino equaled Sterling’s 7 goals and went three better for assists (10 to 7).
The Brazilian edged successful passes per game (28 to 26) and was also superior for take-ons, successfully completing 56.9% to Sterling’s 49.5%.
The stats also show that Firmino also excels defensively and puts a shift in for his team.
