Stats emphasise Phil's all-round display
Opta statistics from Liverpool's 1-0 victory over Stoke on Saturday show how Philippe Coutinho turned in an impressive performance, both going forward and defensively, on the first day of the 2013-14 campaign.
While the Brazilian was in typically dynamic form taking the attack to Stoke, he was also one of the Reds' most effective defenders.
Coutinho created six shot assists for his teammates - more than any other player in the league on the opening day - but he also won five tackles and made two blocks against physical opposition.
The 21-year-old drew more free-kicks (four) than any other Liverpool player and fired five shots at Asmir Begovic's goal throughout the 90 minutes.
