Liverpool strengthened their position at the top of the Premier League with a hard-fought win against Wolverhampton.

Despite a dominant first half, Arne Slot’s team faced a tense second period as the visitors pushed for an equalizer.

The Reds took a 2-0 lead into halftime thanks to goals from Luis Díaz and Mohamed Salah. However, the second half was a completely different story.

Wolves fight back, Liverpool struggle

Matheus Cunha pulled one back for Wolves, making it 2-1 and shifting momentum in the visitors' favor. Wolverhampton dominated the second half, firing 10 shots on goal, while Liverpool failed to create much going forward.

Slot relieved after nervy finish

Despite the struggles, Liverpool held on for three points, maintaining a seven-point lead over Arsenal, their closest challenger. Arne Slot may not have been thrilled with the performance, but the result keeps Liverpool in control of the title race.
