Showy drop in the second half, Wolverhampton shortens with Cunha but is not enough. Unchanged advantage over Arsenal
He suffers, but keeps up. Liverpool starts in rocket with Wolverhampton, then in the second half he closes to bring home the three points. The mission fully succeeds, the Reds beat the Wolves 2-1 and confirm the seven lengths of distance on the Arsenal (victorious yesterday in Leicester’s home) that chases. Luis Diaz and Salah are the great protagonists, at least of the first fraction, when the slot team dominates. Upon returning from the changing rooms, it is a guest monologue, but they do not find the same.

Luis Diaz is a rebus for the defense of Wolverhampton. The Colombian unlocks the meeting in the quarter of an hour, taking advantage of a wrong disengagement of the defense: on the loose ball he anticipates Jose knows by resting on the net with the shin. There is also Diaz in doubling: he is the one who suffers in the area from the goalkeeper for the penalty that Salah transforms to 37 ‘. In the second half the Wolves shake, Bellegarde kicks on Alisson the ball of potential 2-1. Liverpool is slowed down by the referees: a goal is canceled in Salah for offside, a penalty is removed in Jota after the On-Field Review. In general, the Reds produce very little, without ever kicking in the door in the second half. The guests take advantage of it and this time shorten with the usual Cunha, who makes Gravenberch void with a fake and finds the far post (67 ‘). The pressure of the Wolverhampton continues, the Reds do not bend: it ends 2-1.
