Florian Wirtz’ deflected strike rescues Liverpool a point against Sunderland

Florian Wirtz’ dancing feet helped to rescue a point for Liverpool but he was denied a first Premier League goal in a 1-1 draw at home to Sunderland.

The Germany international waltzed past a couple of defenders before his shot went in via Nordi Mukiele, with the Black Cats defender credited with an own goal.

The goal spared head coach Arne Slot more scrutiny after he left out Mohamed Salah for successive league matches for the first time in his Liverpool career.
