Florian Wirtz clocked up assists in back-to-back Liverpool matches on Saturday as he rolled a perfectly weighted ball through for Victor Munoz to score. Amazingly, Wirtz created nine chances for Liverpool in West London, and in doing so he shot right to the top of that particular metric in this season’s Premier League.Liverpool come from behind to beat 9-man Brentford!

What were your main takeaways from the game? 🤔 We were clinging on a bit at the end… Wirtz has created the most in the Premier League As Opta pointed out on X after the game, Wirtz’s nine chances created in a single Premier League match was the most any player had managed in the competition since Liverpool’s own Sadio Mane made 10 opportunities in a game against Burnley in January 2021. Although there were not any statistically ‘big’ chances amongst the nine, Wirtz was still creative on the ball and key in Liverpool coming back into the game.

But Cherki sits eighth on this list, although he does match Wirtz’s average of 3.2 chances created per 90 minutes. There will still be supporters who are rightly demanding more from Wirtz, but with Liverpool looking for a hero at the Gtech, he did as much as anyone to turn the tide.
