Forget Wirtz: Liverpool’s relentless 33-touch star had game-defining moment to put Reds 1-0 up vs Burnley

Hugo Ekitike deserves a great deal of credit for his role in creating a goalscoring opportunity for Florian Wirtz.

His German teammate saw Liverpool go 1-0 up against Burnley after Dominik Szoboszlai’s penalty struck the upright in the first half.

A win against the Clarets would see Arne Slot’s men leapfrog Manchester United and return to the top four spots on 38 points after 22 Premier League games played.
