Liverpool attacking midfielder Florian Wirtz expressed satisfaction with his team's performance after their 3-1 Premier League win over Crystal Palace. The German highlighted Liverpool's efficiency in front of goal and their solid defending.
Wirtz played a key role in the victory, scoring his first Premier League goal of the season and setting up Alexander Isak, who completed the scoring late in the match.
After the final whistle, the German midfielder highlighted his team's finishing and the importance of taking three points:
“It was a good game from us. I'm very happy with the win — and that's all that matters. We were efficient in front of goal. We didn't have that many clear chances... although perhaps we did, I don't know, but it felt like there weren't many, so scoring three goals is always a great result. We defended quite confidently, so it was a good team performance.”
Wirtz also noted the psychological importance of scoring shortly before half-time, particularly after Crystal Palace had a goal disallowed.
“That goal was extremely important, especially after their disallowed goal. We went into half-time with good momentum. It made the game a little easier and more open for us. The timing of the goal was very good,” Wirtz concluded.
Thanks to the German playmaker's contributions, Liverpool picked up another three points in the league table.
