Lovren in awe of Firmino talent

Liverpool defender Dejan Lovren has hailed the impact of Roberto Firmino after the forward scored his first goal for the club at the weekend.
The Brazil international initially struggled to adapt to life at Anfield after completing a big-money move from Hoffenheim during the off-season.
However, Firmino has started to show glimpses of his quality since the arrival of Jurgen Klopp, particularly in the 4-1 humbling of Manchester City at the weekend.
And Lovren paid tribute to his team-mate and says he is in awe of the 24-year-old's talent.
"Roberto is growing," the Croatia international told the Liverpool Echo.
"We need to give him time as he's settling into a new country, but he has great talent. We see it every day in training and now we're seeing it in the matches.
"He caused City a lot of problems. He's an unbelievable player. He has so much skill.
"Roberto scored one and could even have got a hat-trick. He creates and he scores. He has so much potential and I know he's going to get better and better for us."
