HE'S HERR TO HELP

Robbo's so delighted with Flo assister act

- BY IAN DOYLE

CODY GAKPO applied the finishing touch to banish any doubts Liverpool would emerge from Germany with a much-needed victory.

But rather than engulf the goalscorer, many of his team mates made a beeline for the man who laid on the chance.

Small wonder. For the first time in more than two months, the hard work of Florian Wirtz had been rewarded with an assist.

Another came shortly afterwards, although it was Dominik Szoboszlai who did most of the hard work by thumping home a simple pass from 20 yards to cap a 5-1 Champions League victory at Eintracht Frankfurt.

After such a barren run, though, Wirtz was just grateful of the contribution to quieten some of the criticism that has come his way since arriving for £116m from Bayer Leverkusen in the summer.
