Liverpool climbed to the top of the Premier League as Mohamed Salah converted from the penalty spot to secure a 2-1 win over struggling Wolves in what was a disappointing but overall satisfying performance from Arne Slot’s side.

The Reds trailed for the first 20 minutes as Gary O’Neil’s side came out of the blocks quickly, but eventually the visitors took control and Dominik Szoboszlai should have put them ahead when he fired straight at Sam Johnstone from close range. range.

However, Ibrahima Konate did not make the same mistake from a similar position when he headed in Diogo Jota’s cross in first-half stoppage time. However, the French defender went from hero to villain early in the second period as he failed to deal with a ball that trickled towards the byline, and Wolves took advantage when Rayan Ait-Nouri smashed into an empty net.

The hosts didn’t stay level for long, however, as Jota was fouled by Nelson Semedo in the penalty area and Salah made no mistake despite an otherwise forgettable evening.
