Florian Wirtz scored his first Premier League goal for Liverpool in a 2-1 win over Wolves on Dec. 27, 2025, ending a 190-day drought since his £116M move.

On December 27, 2025, Florian Wirtz ended a 190-day goal drought since joining for £116 million by scoring his first Premier League goal for Liverpool in a 2-1 victory over Wolverhampton Wanderers at Anfield. After Ryan Gravenberch's first goal, assisted by Jeremie Frimpong, the German midfielder, who had previously been denied by an own goal and missed opportunities, scored in the 41st minute thanks to a precise pass from Hugo Ekitike. Liverpool's continued susceptibility to set pieces, which has resulted in 12 league goals given up this season, was highlighted when Wolves pulled one back from a corner in the second half. Despite the victory, Liverpool's lack of control in the second half was criticized, and issues with consistency and defensive weaknesses still exist. Wirtz's breakthrough was viewed as encouraging for the team's comeback under manager Arne Slot, and the victory increased their chances of finishing in the top four and extended their winning streak to seven games.
