Liverpool continued their Premier League campaign with a hard fought 2 1 victory over Wolverhampton Wanderers at Anfield, displaying composure and attacking quality in key moments of the contest.

The breakthrough came in the 41st minute when Ryan Gravenberch found the back of the net after a well timed pass from Mohamed Salah. Liverpool doubled their advantage shortly after when Florian Wirtz scored his first Premier League goal for the club, calmly finishing after a clever assist from Hugo Ekitike.

Wolves returned for the second half with renewed intensity and were rewarded in the 51st minute as Santiago Bueno reacted quickest in the box to reduce the deficit. The goal shifted momentum and forced Liverpool to defend deeper as Wolves pushed for an equaliser.
