# Liverpool: Fans react to Georginio Wijnaldum’s latest Netherlands goal

**Liverpool midfielder Georginio Wijnaldum will return to Merseyside from international duty after scoring in both of Netherlands’ Euro 2020 qualifiers in recent days.**

The 28-year-old [rounded off his country’s 4-0 win in Estonia last night](https://www.uefa.com/european-qualifiers/season=2020/matches/round=2001086/match=2026200/?iv=true) with a late header, adding to the [goal he notched against Germany in a 4-2 win on Friday](https://www.uefa.com/european-qualifiers/season=2020/matches/round=2001086/match=2026177/?iv=true).

Liverpool supporter Ben Webb tweeted a video of Wijnaldum’s goal against Estonia ([via @BenWebbLFC](https://twitter.com/BenWebbLFC/status/1171169165165629441)) after the match.

That took Wijnaldum to 12 goals in 56 caps for Netherlands, for whom he has played mainly as an attacking midfielder and scored five goals in nine games in the last calendar year. \[[via TransferMarkt.co.uk](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/georginio-wijnaldum/nationalmannschaft/spieler/49499/verein_id/3379)\]

By contrast, he has netted just [13 times in 145 appearances for Liverpool](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/georginio-wijnaldum/leistungsdatendetails/spieler/49499) since[joining the club three years ago from Newcastle for £25m](https://www.bbc.com/sport/football/36846756), scoring [five times in 47 appearances last season](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/georginio-wijnaldum/leistungsdatendetails/spieler/49499). However, he had been [deployed as a central or defensive midfielder in the vast majority of those games](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/georginio-wijnaldum/leistungsdatendetails/spieler/49499/verein/31).

These Liverpool fans on Twitter had their say about the Netherlands midfielder:
