But Wolves pulled a goal back a few minutes into the second half, which made the remainder of the game more nervy than it should have been. Substitute Conor Bradley made a superb block in the closing stages to prevent a Jhon Arias equaliser as Slot’s team continue to look susceptible at the back.

The drought was almost over when he appeared to score an equaliser against Sunderland earlier this month, but it was ultimately awarded as an own-goal. Now, it is officially over as Wirtz got himself on the scoresheet in the first-half of Liverpool's Premier League clash with Wolves.
