Florian Wirtz scored his first goal of the Premier League season to help Liverpool secure a 3-1 victory against Crystal Palace, n-tv.de reported.
The 23-year-old German midfielder delivered a standout performance at Anfield, finding the net in the 54th minute and setting up another goal before the final whistle. Alexis Mac Allister had earlier opened the scoring with a header in the 40th minute during a heavy spell of pressure from the visitors.
Bradley Barcola supplied the pass for Wirtz, whose slightly mishit volley still managed to beat the goalkeeper and provide a breakthrough. Wirtz then added an unselfish assist in the 89th minute, setting up Alexander Isak following a swift counterattack. Eddie Nketiah converted a penalty for Crystal Palace in the fifth minute of stoppage time, bringing the final score to 3-1.
The victory lifts Liverpool to fourth place in the Premier League table with 15 points, bouncing back from a 1-0 defeat against Arsenal a week prior. Crystal Palace dropped to the bottom of the standings following the weekend results, compounded by a 1-1 draw against TSG Hoffenheim in the Europa League earlier in the week.
Evanilson opened the scoring for Bournemouth in the 5th minute at Portman Road, and Leif Davis turned an own goal past his own keeper just after the interval in the 46th minute. The win moves Marco Rose’s side into seventh place in the league table with 15 points, sitting just three points behind fourth-placed Liverpool.
