Florian Wirtz was pleased with how Liverpool made the most of their opportunities in the 3-1 victory over Crystal Palace.
The Reds returned to winning ways on Sunday thanks to goals from Wirtz, Alexis Mac Allister and Alexander Isak.
Mac Allister opened the scoring in the first half before Wirtz and Isak wrapped up the points after the break.
The German doubled Liverpool’s lead in the 54th minute with a first-time finish from Bradley Barcola’s cross.
Having taken Andoni Iraola’s instructions on board, the No.7 opened his account in the 2026-27 Premier League campaign.
The victory leaves Liverpool fourth in the standings heading into the November international break, while maintaining their unbeaten away record.
“It was a good game from us. I’m really happy about the win. I think that’s all that counts,” Florian Wirtz told Sky Sports post-match.
“I would say that we were just efficient in front of the goal. We didn’t have so many clear chances. Maybe we did, I don’t know, but it felt like we didn’t have so many big chances.
“I think scoring three goals is always good. I think we defended also quite well. So, a good team performance.”
“It was a great pass to Bradley into the space. The manager was talking so much to us to arrive into the box and I think we were with three players in the box.
“Luckily, the ball came to me and I could score.”
“I think we are always confident because we know what a team we have and what quality we have,” the Germany international finished.
“It doesn’t really matter if it’s away from home but for sure we need to get more points also in the home games.”
