Match report & 3 talking points from tense Anfield duel


Liverpool recorded a fight in the second half to achieve a 2-1 win against wolves, which caused seven points at the head of the Premier League.

The red seemed to see an uncomplicated afternoon when, thanks to a bound Luis Diaz finish and Mohamed Salah’s penalty, they were spreading a lead in the first half in the first half.

But Liverpool collected a wonderful math -cunha strike in the middle of the second half and was confronted with an attack that was able to end so easily with the visitors.

How the game unfolds

Liverpool made a bright start of the procedure and almost took the lead when Diogo Jotas Volley only whistled out of a release. Wolves did not hold much longer, and a distracted Salah crossing from right fell by right to Diaz, who loosened the ball with its middle with a quarter of an hour.

The Colombian was again at the center of things when the Reds made two, and won a penalty by pushing Emmanuel Agbadou out of the way before prompting Jose Sa to put him down.

The defenders of the wolves were not particularly satisfied with the award of the spot kick and were further annoyed when Ibrahima konate escaped a second yellow because he had come to Cunha shortly later.

The fact that they had a point with the latter was underlined by Arne slot, who chose Jarell Quansah at halftime.

Wolves also changed changes, with Marshall Munetsi and Jean-Ricner Bellegarde the place of Goncalo Guedes and Pablo Sarabia income to bring the Midlanders threatened with descent.

And Vitor Pereia’s decision paid almost immediate dividends, whereby Munetsi struck behind and was only refused one goal by a trademark by Alisson Becker.

After the visitors improved, Liverpool thought that they had received a golden opportunity to complete things when the referee pointed to the site to have an obvious Agbadou -Foul on Jota in the box. However, the repetitions showed almost no contact between the couple and after a VAR check, the decision in the field was correctly lifted.

Wolves made the best of this rejection, with Cunha producing a beautiful Burler in the lower corner from 25 meters to give the visitors hope, and their goal was a fair reflection of a second half that reached half an hour with wolves after they had put nine shots on the zero of their opponents.

But they only added one when Liverpool’s attempts to find the containment began to be successful and ensured that they captured a great victory that was emphatically welcomed by the Angefield.

Your attitude to Liverpool’s performance probably depends on whether you are in glass with a glass or glass-half-empty species of people in glass.

For the optimists, this was another victory that cleared the Reds seven points and, above all, a game closer to Hubing this coveted Premier League title. However, the pessimists also received something that she had to complain about in the form of extremely bad efforts in the second half that did not correspond to champions.

The fact is, however, that Liverpool does not play badly very often, and if they have won despite this, this can certainly only be seen as a blow to their title competitors.

If wolves cannot be maintained with anything in the second half in the second half, it is certainly the arrival of Wataru Endo into the game.

After the introduction of the Japanese, the visitors only managed one shot, with its ability to separate the game and simply own things and to alleviate the pressure on Liverpool.

He also won two crucial fouls by using his body intelligently and showing properties that Arne Slot may now have the feeling of leaning in the Goodison Park.

Wolves can go home without points for their efforts, but they will surely take a big heart from an exhibition in the second half, which showed why they are certainly too good to go under.

In truth, it is a travesty that its performance was not rewarded in the second half, but the advantage is that there are few more difficult places than the home of the Premier League leaders.

If Verseira’s team will continue in the same way in the coming weeks, there is hardly a chance that Ipswich or Leicester will do enough to move them back into the relegation zone.
