The impressive stat which underlines Bruno's quality

He was also honest about the improvement required, telling TNT Sports: “We have to do more, me first. Everyone has to lift the standards of each other and end the season in the best way possible.”

Ruben Amorim praised his skipper and also outlined his significance after the game on Merseyside. 

“He’s really important, in any position that he plays,” our head coach explained. “He is the guy that can, sometimes in the hardest moments, hold the ball and that is really important for the team. He is a leader, he scored the first goal and helped us get a point.”

Our fans also noticed his contribution as the midfielder earned 58 per cent of the votes to top our Man of the Match poll. 

Bruno’s influence will continue to be key in the coming weeks of a campaign which could still end with silverware for the Reds, who welcome Kieran McKenna’s Ipswich Town to M16 on Wednesday night before facing Fulham in the Emirates FA Cup fifth round next Sunday.
