The Samba star showed that as well as his supreme technical ability, he also has a good head on his shoulders as he headed home the opener at the Emirates.
With 26 minutes on the clock, Liverpool countered. Mohamed Salah was sent racing away down the right and when his attempted cut-back was deflected up into the air, the Brazilian was on hand to head over a helpless Petr Cech from six yards.
The goal is Coutinho's 11th of the season in all competitions and incredibly is the first headed goal of his career.
