Florian Wirtz has really found his feet at Liverpool in his last couple of outings and it looked as though he'd announced it with a vital equalizer against Sunderland. And while the identity of the scorer for Arne Slot's side would usually be a technicality, the big-money signing is still waiting on his first goal.

After Alexander Isak opened his league account last week, it would have been a real boost to see Wirtz off the mark as well. We just have to continue, keep the hard work and the hopefully things will change." Wirtz has shrugged off the reclassification of what he thought was his first Liverpool goal.

And while he isn't personally dwelling on the own-goal classification, Curtis Jones feels his teammate deserved a goal for his efforts. "And yeah, it's just a shame that it goes down as an own goal." As long as Wirtz can continue on his current trajectory, the official first goal cannot be far away.
