Coutinho becomes highest-scoring Brazilian in Premier League history

Liverpool star Philippe Coutinho has become the highest-scoring Brazilian in Premier League history after netting against Stoke City on Saturday. 
The ex-Inter man passed former record-holder Juninho as he levelled the game at the Britannia Stadium, scoring his 30th goal in the top-flight. 
Juninho had previously seen his mark equalled in Coutinho's last Premier League run-out, when he hit the net against Bournemouth. 
The former Atletico Madrid and Celtic man, now retired, scored his goals in three separate spells for Middlesbrough. 
Coutinho, however, may soon face competition from a team-mate for the record. 
Compatriot Roberto Firmino added the second of the game for Liverpool to put the Reds 2-1 ahead, his 20th strike since moving to Anfield from Hoffenheim in 2015.

When I first got my licence I was only doing this as a hobby, I'd go to work as a dental assistant and catch my alligators on the side. But I got well known for taking the alligators alive, and I'm now doing this as my full time job. I've been a true animal lover all my life. I blame it on my mom. When we were little she was the one that would stop the car, pull over, and help turtles and ducks cross the road. We took in all the strays - cats, dogs, whatever needed a home. I'd never even touched an alligator before and for a split second I thought, 'I can't do this' Where I live in the south part of...
