Liverpool once again left it late at Turf Moor, edging out Burnley 1-0 courtesy of Mohamed Salah’s stoppage-time penalty. But while the Egyptian’s cool finish grabbed the headlines, the real buzz centered around one man who didn’t even start the match.That player? Florian Wirtz.🔥 From Benchwarmer to Match ChangerWirtz was left on the bench once more, a decision that has puzzled fans for weeks. When he finally stepped onto the pitch in the second half, the energy of the game flipped instantly. His movement, vision, and creativity pulled Burnley’s defense apart, giving Liverpool the attacking spark they had been missing.Though Salah converted the decisive penalty, many felt Wirtz was the architect of Liverpool’s late dominance—stretching defenders, threading passes, and forcing mistakes that built up the winning moment.🎙️ Arteta’s Bold ReactionAfter witnessing Wirtz’s performance, Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta couldn’t hold back his admiration.> “He’s special. The difference in control, energy, and ideas once he came on was clear for everyone to see. If Liverpool aren’t ready to play him, then they should let him go—I’d take him tomorrow.”The comment sparked immediate debate. Was it just a cheeky dig at Arne Slot, or a genuine hint that Arsenal would love to pounce if Liverpool keep sidelining the German star?⚡ Slot Under FireLiverpool boss Arne Slot is already under pressure for being overly cautious with his team selections.
