Liverpool 2 – 1 Wolves

Liverpool restored their seven-point lead at the top of the Premier League table with a 2-1 win over Wolves at Anfield.

Luis Diaz bundled the ball into the net early in the game and it looked like being a straightforward afternoon for the Premier League leaders when Mohamed Salah doubled the advantage for Arne Slot’s side from the penalty spot before half-time.

But Liverpool had a second penalty denied them when it was overturned following a VAR check and when Matheus Cunha pulled one goal back with a beautiful finish it made for a nervy finale. However, Wolves could not find the equaliser that Everton did against the league leaders on Wednesday.

Vitor Pereira’s side remain two points clear of the relegation zone and have to be content with a spirited display. For Liverpool, the three points increase their lead over Arsenal back to seven as they prepare for Aston Villa on Wednesday evening.
