Round-upInternationals: Wirtz scores and Gakpo assists as five Reds feature

Five Liverpool players featured in World Cup qualifying fixtures for their countries throughout the day.

Wirtz netted impressively for his nation as he faced off against Reds teammate Conor Bradley in a Group A contest.

The pair both completed the full match, with Germany running out 3-1 winners over Northern Ireland in Cologne.

Wirtz scored the final goal of the evening, brilliantly curling a free-kick into the top corner to seal victory.

Gakpo, meanwhile, helped the Netherlands to a 3-2 result against Lithuania in Group G, appearing alongside Liverpool captain Virgil van Dijk.

Gakpo’s low cross found Memphis Depay to open the scoring in Kaunas during a back-and-forth affair.

Ryan Gravenberch was an unused substitute in the tie, though Gakpo and Van Dijk finished the full game.

And, earlier in the day, goalkeeper Giorgi Mamardashvili kept a clean sheet for Georgia in Group E as they defeated Bulgaria 3-0 in Tbilisi.
