Wolves 1-2 Liverpool
by Gene Sylvester
ARNE SLOT’S Liverpool arrived at Molineaux knowing that a win against bottom-of-the-table Wolves would take his side top of the table following Manchester City’s earlier draw at St James’s Park.
The task of beating a side bottom of the table and winless in their opening five games doesn’t sound too daunting, but this is the Premier League and Gary O’Neill’s troops pushed their visitors all the way, eventually going down 2-1 to a penalty-spot winner courtesy of Mohammed Salah.
Liverpool’s winner came following a Nelson Semedo foul on his fellow countryman Diogo Jota, hauling the Liverpool striker down in the area as he attempted to get on the end of a Trent Alexander-Arnold cross into the box.
