After the 14th round Premier League match against Sunderland, where Liverpool dropped points once again, Wirtz could have become the hero of the evening: in the 81st minute, he appeared to level the score, but later the Premier League officially recorded the goal as a Sunderland defender Mukiele's own goal. Florian Wirtz shared his thoughts on the incident.
Details: After the match, Wirtz stated that he wasn't upset about the goal being reassigned; what really bothered him was that the team failed to secure a win again.
"It doesn't matter to me... We drew. We wanted to win. That's what really matters today," Wirtz said.
The German also admitted that the past few weeks have been tough, but expressed confidence that the team is moving in the right direction.
"The last few weeks have been difficult, but we're on the right track to bounce back. We're doing everything we can to make it happen."
As a result, after this match Liverpool sits in eighth place with 22 points, while Sunderland is sixth with 23 points.
Reminder: Liverpool head coach Arne Slot explained why Mohamed Salah was left out of the starting lineup for the second match in a row.
