Liverpool hero Roberto Firmino heads out until 4am with mum to celebrate her birthday

ROBERTO FIRMINO celebrated both Liverpool's win over Manchester City in the Champions League and his mother's birthday with a night out on Merseyside.

The forward, 26, who scored the winning goal in the second leg of the European tie, was snapped leaving Bem Brasil at 4am and climbing into a taxi.

The occasion was clearly a family affair as his wife Larissa Parrereira and other relatives exited in the early hours.

Firmino wore a black cardigan with white stripes on, black jeans and white Dolce and Gabana trainers that cost a whopping £885.

The former Hoffenheim man was widely praised for his excellent performances against City in the crucial Champions League ties.

And he netted what turned out to be the icing on the cake as Jurgen Klopp's side downed the Premier League champions-elect 5-1 on aggregate.

Firmino has scored 14 Prem goals this term as well as nine in the Champions League, but his overall play in providing assists for the likes of Mo Salah has been crucial.

Often he is the man who drops deep to win the ball back while 39-goal Salah and Sadio Mane push on to put the ball in the net.

Firmino shared a picture of himself and his mother in Instagram.

The caption said: "She who gave me life and built my character.

"She who when I think I already know everything from life comes and gives me another lesson of how things are.

"With a strong personality and a soft heart, she makes me love her more and more.

"I love you so much, congratulations! I love you my mother."
