DOHA, Qatar -Roberto Firmino came off the bench to score a stoppage-time winner as Liverpool edged out Mexican side Monterrey 2-1 at the Club World Cup in Doha on Wednesday and set up a final this weekend against Flamengo.

But then, just as the game moved into the first of three added minutes, and with extra time looming, Firmino popped up to turn a Trent Alexander-Arnold cross into the net from close range and take the Anfield side through. "But I think in the end we showed our quality and we won in the last minute so I think we deserved it."

At such a busy stage in the season, Klopp also admitted his relief when the winning goal went in, saying:"I was actually afraid of extra time to be honest so I was more than happy when Bobby scored that goal."Salah left the crowd gasping as he produced a stunning pass to release Keita, the midfielder running into the box and lashing a first-time shot past goalkeeper Marcelo Barovero.
