Arne Slot has hit back at claims that Florian Wirtz is suffering from a crisis of confidence amid an extended goal drought, saying he is not surprised the £116million man was involved in Liverpool’s equaliser against Sunderland.
Wirtz seemed to have broken his duck when he found the back of the net late in Wednesday’s 1-1 draw with Sunderland, but his effort was deemed an own goal after the replay revealed a considerable deflection from Nordi Mukiele.
