Roberto Firmino has been named the UEFA Champions League Player of the Week, presented by Santander.

The Liverpool forward was involved in both goals as the Reds secured a commanding 2-0 lead over Porto at Anfield on Tuesday, setting up Naby Keita for the opener before tapping home Trent Alexander-Arnold's low cross.

Firmino, who beat competition from Heung-Min Son, Gerard Pique and Frenkie de Jong to clinch the coveted award, has been involved in 20 Champions League goals since the start of last season - no Liverpool player has been involved in more.

Watch the video below to relive Firmino's all-important performance.
