Florian Wirtz wins 1,000,000 Japanese Yen for claiming man of the match award in Liverpool's 3-1 win over Yokohama

Florian Wirtz was the star of the show as Liverpool beat Yokohama FM on Wednesday and the new signing was awarded a special prize for his efforts.

The Reds ended their tour of Asia with a 3-1 victory over the Japanese at the Nissan Stadium in Yokohama.

The home side took a surprise lead shortly after half-time but Wirtz levelled the scores when he pounced from 12 yards.

Arne Slot's side then completed the turnaround through goals from Trey Nyoni and Rio Ngumoha.

Wirtz, who completed a £116m move from Bayer Leverkusen earlier this summer, pulled the strings until he was replaced in the second half.
