Liverpool ace Georginio Wijnaldum scored the winner at the weekend.
Liverpool midfielder Georginio Wijnaldum scored a fortunate winner at the weekend against Sheffield United.
Wijnaldum’s tame effort was mishandled by Blades stopper Dean Henderson and squirmed through his hands into the net.
Liverpool had no need to complain, it was enough to gift wrap them all three points against an otherwise resolute Sheffield United team.
Former Liverpool midfielder Jamie Redknapp praised Wijnaldum’s overall contribution, and his growing importance to the team.
He told The Mail: “It was no surprise to see Georginio Wijnaldum score the all-important goal.
“He is immense in midfield and if Liverpool are to win the title, their fans will be looking to him to deliver when the front three are not firing.”
Wijnaldum demonstrated his ability in a big way in the Champions League semi-finals last season when he stepped up with a brace at Anfield against Barcelona
The former Newcastle United man has become a must pick for the Reds over the past year and his goal was reward for the space he got into and his desire to keep pushing.
Liverpool have a 100 per cent record to start the season in the Premier League, already opening a gap over Manchester City who are five points back.
