Wirtz celebrates his first Premier League goal for Liverpool in a 2-1 win over Wolves.

Wirtz Breaks His Premier League Goal Drought as Liverpool Beat Wolves

The German star Florian Wirtz opened his Liverpool account with a first Premier League goal, helping the Reds secure a 2-1 victory over Wolverhampton Wanderers in the 18th round.

He also netted Liverpool's second, ending a drought of 17 league appearances after his 21st shot at goal.

After the match, Wirtz said the atmosphere in the stadium and the fans around him made the moment special, and he was very happy.

He stressed that he never doubted himself and believed the goal would come someday, hoping to start scoring and assisting earlier but accepting how things unfolded and keeping the same mindset.

He praised Liverpool's first-half performance, while acknowledging late minutes of pressure posed challenges. The team must tighten things in the final stretch, but the drive to stay top remains strong.

The win keeps Liverpool in the title race, with the Reds intent on staying at the summit and building momentum.

Closing the remarks, Wirtz reaffirmed Liverpool's ambition to lead the standings, stressing that this is the style of football they want to play and that they aim to stay at the top.

Punchline 1: If scoring were a sniper drill, Wirtz just got a bullseye on the stat sheet.

Punchline 2: And if late goals were a sport, Klopp would finally have a stopwatch that agrees with him.
