Liverpool have moved to the top of the Premier League after defeating Wolves 2-1 on Saturday.
Arne Slot’s side made a sluggish start and were second best for much of the first-half, but one moment of quality was enough for them to take a lead into the break.
Diogo Jota curled a brilliant ball into the box, and Ibrahima Konate rose highest to power a header past Sam Johnstone.

Mohamed Salah should have doubled the lead early in the second period, but fired wide of the empty goal as Wolves made a mess of playing out from the back.
Within seconds of the restart, though, the momentum was swiftly handed back. From a Trent Alexander-Arnold cross, Jota was wrestled to the ground by Nelson Semedo and the referee pointed to the spot, with Salah stepping up to send Johnstone the wrong way.
The Reds have five wins from their opening six league matches under Slot and now sit a point clear of Manchester City and Arsenal.
