Just short of the hour mark in Wales, a low corner from the right was emphatically thumped into the back of the net by Wijnaldum to set the Reds on course for a crucial 2-0 win in the Premier League.
After the final whistle, the Dutchman explained the slight tweak he suggested to his teammates to make the strike – his third goal of the season so far – a possibility.
“We trained for it, but the ball was coming high in the first half,” Wijnaldum told Sky Sports.
