Liverpool reasserted their seven-point advantage at the top of the Premier League standings with a 2-1 victory over Wolves at Anfield.
The match got off to a strong start for the hosts, with Luis Diaz managing to bundle the ball into the net early on. It appeared as though it would be a straightforward afternoon for Jurgen Klopp’s side when Mohamed Salah extended the lead with a penalty before the break, giving Liverpool a comfortable 2-0 advantage. However, things became more complicated when a second penalty awarded to Liverpool was overturned after a VAR review.
Wolves then mounted a fightback when Matheus Cunha scored a stunning goal to pull one back, creating a tense finish. Despite a late surge from Wolves, they were unable to find the equalizer, unlike their Merseyside rivals Everton, who managed a draw against the league leaders just days earlier.
The result leaves Wolves in 16th place, still two points above the relegation zone, but with some pride in their spirited performance. For Liverpool, the three points keep them firmly in control at the top, as their lead over second-place Arsenal remains at seven points, with a crucial match against Aston Villa awaiting them on Wednesday evening.
