Liverpool 2-1 Wolves Player Ratings: Wirtz Nets First Goal as Reds End 2025 with Win

Florian Wirtz celebrates his maiden goal for the club as Liverpool defeated Wolves 2-1.

Ryan Gravenberch and Florian Wirtz scored within 90 seconds late in the first half, and Liverpool overcame a sluggish second half to hold off Wolves 2-1 at Anfield. It was Wirtz’s first goal with the club as he seems to be rounding into form after garnering an assist last week vs Tottenham.
