Salah Shines as Liverpool Overcome Wolves’ Fightback to Reclaim Lead
Liverpool fans at Anfield witnessed a rollercoaster of emotions as their team secured a crucial 2-1 victory over Wolverhampton Wanderers. It was a match filled with drama, resilience, and moments of brilliance, with Mohamed Salah once again stepping up to make the difference.
The Reds started strong, quickly taking control after a frustrating week that saw them drop points against Everton. Luis Díaz opened the scoring with a determined effort, capitalizing on a chaotic moment in the Wolves' defense. Moments later, Salah doubled Liverpool’s lead from the penalty spot, coolly slotting in his 50th penalty for the club—his 28th goal of the season. Anfield erupted, and it looked like Arne Slot’s men were heading for a comfortable win.

But Wolves had other ideas. They came out in the second half with renewed energy and put Liverpool under serious pressure. Matheus Cunha’s stunning 22-yard strike set up a tense finale, as Liverpool’s nerves started to show. Wolves pressed relentlessly, forcing Liverpool’s defense into desperate clearances. At one point, Anfield held its breath when Wolves substitute Marshall Munetsi found himself one-on-one with Alisson. But the Brazilian shot-stopper came to the rescue, throwing himself in front of the shot to deny the visitors an equalizer.
The drama didn’t end there. Diogo Jota thought he had won Liverpool another penalty late in the game, but VAR overturned the decision, ruling that there had been no contact. With tensions high, Liverpool had to dig deep, battling until the final whistle to secure the win.
Andy Robertson summed it up perfectly after the match: “It was a slog, but we had to use our experience. When they scored, we got nervous, the crowd got nervous, but it’s a massive win for us.”
With this victory, Liverpool restore their seven-point lead at the top of the Premier League, keeping their title hopes alive. While it wasn’t the most comfortable performance, it was a reminder that sometimes, winning ugly is just as important as winning in style.
