Wirtz’s performance was probably his best in a Liverpool shirt, creating the most chances (3), the most dribbles (7), and the most duels (11).
Speaking to Sky Sports after the game, Slot backed the £116 million man to score ‘many more’ after finally getting his first in 23 games across all competitions.
"The team have seen how much he (Wirtz) did already for us, creating chances and being so close to a goal,” he said.
“He will go on and score many more goals than one for us. I think Florian did more than only score today."
