Liverpool scored yet another last-minute goal and managed to beat Burnley 1-0 in their Premier League clash on Sunday. <\/strong><\/p>\n

The game was held at Turf Moor, and although Scott Parker kept his defensive line solid, the Reds still found a way to get through. <\/p>\n

This win has allowed Arne Slot\u2019s men to carry on their perfect Premier League start<\/a> with the Anfield<\/a> outfit now firmly at the top of the table. <\/p>\n

There were times throughout the game when it felt like a draw was the best result that Liverpool<\/a> would get from the game, but once again, the Merseyside outfit dug their heels in and capitalised on a moment of madness from Hannibal. <\/p>\n

However, it wasn\u2019t the penalty that left Leon Osman in awe. <\/p>\n

Leon Osman was impressed by the \u2018wonderful\u2019 turn that Florian Wirtz pulled off<\/p>\n

Florian Wirtz\u2019s start to life as a Liverpool player<\/a> has been far from ideal. <\/p>\n

Although the attacking midfielder has managed to register one assist for the Reds, his performances have mostly been below par. <\/p>\n

Indeed, it\u2019s likely to take him some time to adjust to the Premier League<\/a> from the Bundesliga, but now that he\u2019s played five games, you\u2019d have expected to see some sort of improvement. <\/p>\n

And, against Burnley, there were glimpses of the talent he possesses, with Osman left in awe of a movement he pulled off in the game. <\/p>\n

\u201cMichael Oliver had to think about it. He gave himself a bit of time,\u201d he said on BBC Radio Five Live in quotes relayed by BBC Sport<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cA wonderful turn by Florian Wirtz getting in-behind Lesley Ugochukwu and then there was panic from the Burnley midfielder. Certainly a free-kick.\u201d<\/p>\n

Florian Wirtz needs to find his form for Liverpool sooner rather than later<\/p>\n

At the moment, Liverpool are sitting at the top of the Premier League table. <\/p>\n

However, with how lucky they\u2019ve been scoring last-minute goals, things could certainly be a lot worse. <\/p>\n

Throughout most of their games this season, Liverpool have been on the back foot, and a lot of that is down to the lack of creativity from the team. <\/p>\n

Wirtz<\/a> was brought in to help take some of the weight from Mohamed Salah\u2019s shoulders after he contributed to over 50 goals last season. <\/p>\n

And, even though he set up a goal in the Community Shield, you\u2019d have wanted to see a bit of a better contribution from the young German. <\/p>\n

If he can\u2019t manage to turn things around soon, questions are going to be asked about whether he was worth the \u00a3116million that Liverpool<\/a> could end up spending on him. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Liverpool scored yet another last-minute goal and managed to beat Burnley 1-0 in their Premier League clash on…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":64332,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[9,10,18,13,14,42799,6,19,17,11,12,45448,15,16,5,7,8],"class_list":{"0":"post-64331","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-headlines","8":"tag-breaking-news","9":"tag-breakingnews","10":"tag-eire","11":"tag-featured-news","12":"tag-featurednews","13":"tag-florian-wirtz","14":"tag-headlines","15":"tag-ie","16":"tag-ireland","17":"tag-latest-news","18":"tag-latestnews","19":"tag-leon-osman","20":"tag-main-news","21":"tag-mainnews","22":"tag-news","23":"tag-top-stories","24":"tag-topstories"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/64331","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=64331"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/64331\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/64332"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=64331"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=64331"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=64331"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
