BREAKING NEWS Florian Wirtz makes honest confession about controversial Liverpool goal as new verdict delivered
Florian Wirtz’s goal for Liverpool in their Premier League clash against Fulham on Sunday has come under scrutiny despite being awarded by VAR
Florian Wirtz scored Liverpool’s opening goal against Fulham
Florian Wirtz has admitted that he even thought he was offside for his controversial goal in Liverpool’s dramatic 2-2 draw with Fulham. The Reds were trailing 1-0 to Harry Wilson’s first-half opener when Wirtz drew his side level just before the hour mark.
Wirtz, though, swiftly saw the linesman raise his flag to initially rule out the goal, with the German having appeared in an offside position after Conor Bradley’s smart pass towards him. However, even though replays appeared to suggest that Wirtz was indeed in an offside position, following a VAR review, the goal was given.
“I was sure it was offside, so I didn’t even celebrate,” he said. “I was happy that I scored, but I’d rather take the three points.”
Liverpool thought they had secured all three points when Cody Gakpo scored four minutes into stoppage time. But Harrison Reed had other ideas, as he picked up the ball from 30 yards out and found the top corner with a superb strike three minutes later.
“Not satisfied at all,” Wirtz said on the draw. “We need points and we wanted three points today. We know there’s no easy game in this league.
Again, we are in a difficult situation because we drew two times. It’s not what we want, we want more. We have to get better, but it’s still a process.”
On the draw, Reds boss Arne Slot reflected: “If it would have finished 1-1, then I would maybe still have been disappointed then but you are 2-1 up in extra time and then you concede a goal, and it leads to 2-2; we are disappointed with the outcome.
“It was an incredible shot. When it was 1-1 we made an offensive change with Chiesa to try to win the game and then we were 2-1 up having to defend a long throw in.
“We brought Gomez in because he is very good in the air but they didn’t take it long, they took it short, and it was an incredible strike.
“It is not for the first time this season that we have conceded in the final seconds of the game. So many points have disappeared for us.
Of course it is frustrating. It’s also frustrating that their first chance of the game goes in, that is also not the first time.
“Then they had a second chance when Alisson was out of his goal and they chipped it on the bar. For the rest I think it is quite good if you play an away game and barely concede a chance.

Liverpool deal ‘agreed’ as Marc Guehi update drops after Arsenal play their hand
As of today there is no confirmed transfer that Liverpool have signed Marc Guehi from Crystal Palace.
There are only ongoing transfer rumours and interest reports — but no official confirmation that the move has happened. �
Sky Sports +1
📌 Current Situation
Marc Guehi is still a Crystal Palace player and is expected to continue there this season — Palace boss Oliver Glasner has said he believes Guehi will remain at Selhurst Park this January. �
Sky Sports
His contract expires at the end of the season and he refused a new deal, so he’s likely to leave when that contract ends. �
Sky Sports
Liverpool remain interested, but according to reliable sources they are not planning to complete the transfer now; they may wait for Guehi to move as a free agent in summer 2026. �
Goal
🚨 Rumours (but not confirmed)
Liverpool had a bid in the past, and discussions have taken place, but Crystal Palace blocked the deal previously because they couldn’t secure a replacement. �
Goal
Other clubs (e.g., Arsenal, Manchester City and Real Madrid) have also shown interest. �

✅ Official stance: No, Liverpool have not confirmed the signing of Marc Guehi.

Arsenal transfer news: Ethan Nwaneri reaches exit decision as £80m agreement eyed
Mirror Football brings you a round-up of the latest transfer news surrounding Arsenal
Mikel Arteta is hoping his Arsenal team can go all the way this season
Arsenal may be in the midst of a title race but they are still working quietly behind the scenes on transfers. Mikel Arteta has already admitted the club is willing to spend in January should the opportunity arise.
Heading into the Premier League clash with Liverpool on Thursday night, the Gunners hold a five-point advantage over rivals Manchester City, with an opportunity to stretch that to eight points after 21 games with a win over the title holders.

Arteta’s stacked squad, thanks to a summer of heavy expenditure on quality players, ensured they came out of an injury-riddled past four months unscathed, as some key players recently made their return to fitness.
Yet, in a division as tough as this and with four trophies to fight for, there is always room for squad improvement. Here, Mirror Football brings you two of the latest transfer developments involving the north London club.

Ethan Nwaneri makes exit decision
Ethan Nwaneri reportedly wants to stay and fight for his place in the Arsenal team for the remainder of the season. The 18-year-old has attracted attention from Bournemouth this month, with the Premier League side eager to sign him on loan until the end of this campaign following the sale of Antoine Semenyo to Manchester City.
There is a sense that a temporary move would benefit Nwaneri given his lack of playing time this season. The Hale End academy product has been left out of the last few matchday squads after seeing his playing time decrease drastically compared to last season. He has made only six Premier League appearances since scoring four league goals in 26 matches last term.

With the likes of Martin Odegaard, Mikel Merino, Eberechi Eze and now injury returnee Kai Havertz ahead of the youngster in the pecking order, some believe Nwaneri needs a move to continue his progression. However, Arsenal do not want to sell the player due to his obvious talent.
The Independent reports Nwaneri feels he can learn more by being part of a serious title challenge, meaning he is happy to remain patient and assess his situation at the end of the season, when he may well have a league trophy to his name.
