VIDEO: Florian Wirtz scores first goal in Liverpool colours as British record signing produces sweeping finish in pre-season friendly victory over Yokohama F Marinos

Trailing by a goal early in the second half against Yokohama, Curtis Jones made a run from the right side. The midfielder entered the penalty area and exchanged a quick one-two with Mohamed Salah, before Wirtz found himself in a comfortable shooting range. The German sensation swept the ball into the far corner with a perfectly executed first-time shot to open his Liverpool goal account, and Arne Slot's side went on to win 3-1 at the Nissan Stadium.

Doubts were cast over Wednesday's pre-season friendly in Yokohama after a tsunami alert was issued in Hawaii, the United States and Japan following an earthquake with an 8.8 magnitude that hit Russia's east coast. The match, however, was given the green light to go ahead as public transportation was functioning normally in the city.

Arne Slot's side will now head back to the UK as they are scheduled to play back-to-back friendly matches against Athletic Club at Anfield on August 4.
