September 28, (THEWILL) – Liverpool claimed a 2-1 victory against Wolverhampton Wanderers in the English Premier League, extending their dominance in this fixture to 15 wins from their last 16 League encounters. The match saw Liverpool overcome an early scare to claim all three points.
Ibrahima Konate opened the scoring for Liverpool just before half-time, heading in a cross from Diogo Jota. The goal marked Konate’s first in the EPL. Wolves equalised in the second half through Rayan Ait-Nouri, capitalising on a defensive error by Liverpool.
However, Liverpool quickly regained the lead when Mohamed Salah converted a penalty after Nelson Semedo fouled Jota. The Egyptian’s clinical finish proved to be the deciding goal of the match. Despite some late pressure from Wolves, Liverpool held on to their lead to take the win.
The victory propelled Liverpool to the top of the EPL table, continuing their strong start to the season with four wins across all competitions. In contrast, Wolves find themselves at the bottom of the league, having managed only one win this season in the Carabao Cup.
This result further solidifies Liverpool’s recent dominance over Wolves in the League.
