Liverpool fans are sending warnings to Premier League rivals after Florian Wirtz finally managed to score in the English top flight. The German found the back of the net in his 17th league match for the Reds.
Liverpool Fans Delighted As Florian Wirtz Finally Scores in the Premier League
An emotional afternoon at Anfield turned into a special day for Wirtz as he scored his first league goal for the English side since his $134 million move. The German scored the second goal of the game as Liverpool held on for a 2-1 win over bottom-placed Wolverhampton.
Arne Slot’s men took the lead through Ryan Gravenberch just four minutes before the halftime break. The home side were quick after the restart and got their second less than a minute later.
Hugo Ekitike dropped deep to collect the ball before slipping it through to Wirtz in the box. The German, who had been waiting for such a pass from his teammates for months, managed to poke it past the Wolves’ goalkeeper.
Liverpool fans were delighted with the German scoring, with one hoping it was the start of the floodgates opening for the $134 million star, posting: “Wirtz has finally scored. He got a lot of grief from everyone while was yet to score, so I hope he gets a few more goals and assists between now and the end of the season.”
