Quotes
"That's the way we want to do it, we want to be there, and we want to be top of the table," Florian Wirtz said after scoring his first Liverpool goal against Wolves.
"It's not been an easy start for us, but I think in the last games we have been doing better and better and getting the points. We are just trying to win every game now and today we had the next three points, so it's good."
