Liverpool's £116million signing Florian Wirtz silenced his critics with a spectacular free-kick for Germany against Northern Ireland.

After scoring an impressive goal to seal a 3-1 victory, Wirtz gestured towards his ear in celebration, in what appeared to be a thinly veiled dig at his critics.

The midfielder had been labelled 'almost invisible' following his nation's shocking World Cup qualifying loss to Slovakia last week.

The win over Northern Ireland wasn't without its challenges, as German fans made their dissatisfaction known when the scores were level on Sunday evening.

If anything, his response after scoring appeared to be pre-meditated, suggesting the louder the criticism, the more motivated he will be.

Die Mannschaft manager Nagelsmann faced severe criticism ahead of the victory over Northern Ireland.

They find themselves three points adrift of Slovakia and presently trail Northern Ireland despite being level on both points and goal difference.
