Florian Wirtz: The Unexpected Rise of Liverpool’s Hidden Game-Changer
His dazzling first‑half footwork opened up Newcastle’s defence for Ekitiké’s equaliser at Anfield. His second‑half finish — a precise, composed strike into the bottom‑left corner following Salah’s pass — gave Liverpool a crucial two‑goal cushion.
After producing no goals and only three assists in his first 21 Liverpool appearances, Wirtz has since exploded for nine goal contributions (six goals, three assists) in his last eleven. Since his revival began on December 20 against Tottenham, no Premier League player has more goal involvements in all competitions.
