Lucas confident Roberto Firmino will keep scoring

Liverpool midfielder Lucas Leiva believes in-form team-mate Roberto Firmino is starting to show his true quality at Anfield.

Firmino has scored seven goals in his last eight Premier League appearances??and also found the net in Liverpool's 2-0 Europa League victory over arch-rivals Manchester United on Thursday.

And Lucas says his fellow Brazilian can help Jurgen Klopp's resurgent side to a strong end to the season.

"He feels very confident and you can see in every game he is a threat," Lucas told the club's official??website.

"He looks like he???s going to score in every game. I hope it stays like that.

"He feels very happy here, he???s very settled and his family is doing well.

"There is no reason for him to not perform. I think he has been a big player for us already."
