"Florian Wirtz's third goal in five matches put Liverpool on course to rise to fourth in the Premier League with the opener at home to relegation-threatened Burnley on Saturday - but Marcus Edwards fired in to equalise for the Clarets with 25 minutes remaining. Germany international Wirtz recorded his fifth direct goal involvement in seven appearances to make the breakthrough in the 42nd minute."
"Wirtz continued his prolific form following a goal and assist in the 4-1 home win over third-tier Barnsley in the FA Cup third round on Monday and a strike in the 2-2 draw at Fulham in the league on January 4. Burnley are nine points from safety but were redeemed when Dominik Szoboszlai struck the crossbar with a 29th-minute penalty, having been fouled by Florentino Luis."
