Wijnaldum delighted for Origi's 'beautiful and deserved' impact against Everton

The attacker netted a late winner against Liverpool's local rivals in his first league appearance of the season, much to his team-mate's delight

Georginio Wijnaldum was happy to see Divock Origi get his chance to make a "beautiful" impact for Liverpool by scoring the winning goal in Sunday's Merseyside derby against Everton.

The attacker came off the bench with five minutes left of normal time for his first Premier League appearance this season with the game still scoreless.

His decisive impact came in the 96th minute when Virgil van Dijk's shot forced an error from Jordan Pickford, allowing the Belgium international to head into an empty net.
