In a post-match interview, Wirtz said that his goal was due to coach Iraola's tactical instructions.

After Liverpool's 1-3 away win against Crystal Palace, returning to winning ways, attacker Florian Wirtz gave a post-match interview, expressing his joy at the victory and attributing the win and his goal to the team's efficient transition and manager Anthony Iraola's precise tactical guidance.

"We played a high-quality game, and taking the victory is the most important thing," Wirtz said frankly in the post-match analysis, adding that the high efficiency in finishing was the key to securing all three points. "We are extremely good at seizing opportunities in front of goal."

"To be honest, I don't think we created many clear-cut scoring opportunities, but we capitalized on our chances to score three goals and were very solid defensively. It was a perfect team victory."

In the 54th minute, Wirtz received a cross from Bradley Barcora and slotted home to score his first Premier League goal of the 2026-27 season. Speaking about the goal, the Liverpool number 7 revealed it was entirely a result of the manager's intentions.

Wirtz admitted, "The through ball to Bradley was beautiful, it cut through the gap in the opponent's half. Before that, the coach had been repeatedly emphasizing the importance of making forward runs into the penalty area. At that moment, we had three players rushing into the penalty area at the same time, and the ball luckily fell to my feet, which I then finished off."

After this match, Liverpool entered the November international break in fourth place with an unbeaten away record in the league. In his concluding interview, Wirtz emphasized that the team remains confident in its abilities, but upon returning from the break, they must maintain their strong away form while striving to secure more points at home.
