The breakthrough for Liverpool came just before halftime in the 45th minute. A well-placed corner delivered by Diogo Jota found the towering Konaté, who headed the ball cleanly into the back of the net. This goal not only gave Liverpool the lead but also allowed them to head into halftime with momentum on their side.
Wolves, however, did not back down. In the second half, they increased their intensity, with players like Rayan Aït-Nouri and Matheus Cunha pushing forward to test Liverpool’s defense. Aït-Nouri eventually found the net for Wolves in the 57th minute, only for it to be ruled out due to offside. Despite Wolves' increased pressure, they struggled to convert their chances, registering only 2 shots on target compared to Liverpool’s 3.
Luis DÃaz and Mohamed Salah, Liverpool's attacking threats, remained dangerous throughout the match, with DÃaz coming close to extending Liverpool's lead. Wolves’ goalkeeper, José Sá, made crucial saves to keep his team in the game. However, Wolves were unable to break down Liverpool’s defense, which has been one of the most robust in the Premier League this season.
In the end, Liverpool’s defense held out, earning them their fifth win of the season and maintaining their position at the top of the Premier League table. This win also marked another clean sheet for the Reds, who have conceded the fewest goals in the league thus far, while Wolves continue to struggle at the bottom of the table.
