Florian Wirtz Assists Dream Goal: Liverpool FC Has a New Record Teenager
FC Liverpool has solidified its Champions League position in the English Premier League and gained confidence for the upcoming quarter-final second leg in the elite competition against defending champions Paris Saint-Germain.
The team, managed by the under-fire Arne Slot, defeated FC Fulham 2-0 (2-0). German international Florian Wirtz contributed an assist.
This victory keeps Liverpool in fifth place, a position that guarantees participation in the Champions League next season. Wirtz set up the opening goal for the super talent Rio Ngumoha (36th minute).
At 17 years and 225 days old, Ngumoha is now the youngest player to have scored a goal at Anfield. He surpassed Raheem Sterling, who was 17 years and 317 days old when he scored his first goal at Liverpool's stadium in 2012.
Mohamed Salah (40th minute) extended the lead before halftime. Wirtz was substituted in the 68th minute after an impressive performance.
Liverpool Must Launch a Comeback Against PSG
