Arne Slot admitted Florian Wirtz knows he has to kick on from his breakthrough goal but the Liverpool head coach was more than happy with the playmaker’s “special” performance in his side’s 2-1 win over Wolves. “I could see with his reaction when he scored the goal and it was the same with his team-mates, they were really happy for him.

“I think he has had multiple good games for us but I also think he is getting better every game he plays for us. “He is getting fitter and fitter and was getting closer and closer to his first goal and it is not a surprise he scored today.

“But I also liked his performance during large parts of the game today, I think he was special in a lot of moments.” Diogo Jota tributes were ‘difficult but special’ It was an emotional afternoon for two former clubs of Diogo Jota, who died in a car crash in July alongside his brother Andre Silva. With his first goal finally out of the way, do you think Wirtz should be the first name on the teamsheet ahead of the Leeds game?
