As Liverpool travelled to the Molineux Stadium to face Wolves, eyebrows were raised for many reasons. It’s another intricacy of football played in the Premier League as both sides battled against each other.
The match produced a total of three goals but it was the Reds that had the last laugh as they got the winner in an entertaining contest.
The match promised a lot in terms of quality and it lived to its (match) billing as viewers enjoyed the quality they’ve seen from both teams after 90 minutes of football.
Following the Reds 1-2 win over Wolves, we evaluate the three significant lessons from the match.
Henderson Leads By Example
The Liverpool Captain has had a great campaign for his side Liverpool under the management of German tactician Jürgen Klopp and proved key to the win against Wolves.
With the Reds mounting pressure on the home side Wolves, it culminatedinto a corner kick. This was on the right far side as expectations grew higher in the game.
Trent Alexander Arnold wiped in the corner only for Henderson to latch onto it with a brilliant header which sailed into the back of the net.
That was the break through goal the visitors need as it set the tone for Liverpool victory thus offering inspiration to his side fortune in the game.
Jimenez Scare For Liverpool
The home side were terrific going forward as they were helped by the home support to inflict a famous damage to Liverpool’s unbeaten run.
This resulted into an equalizer as Raul Jimenez scored to restore parity for the home side.
The goal squared the match at 1-1 and with pressure looming from both ends of the pitch anything was possible as at the moment.
This caused a real scare in the Liverpool camp as it looked like their emulation of Arsenal’s unbeaten run might be daunted by the stubborn Wolves side at home, Molineux.
Firmino’s (Important) Match Winner
The Brazilian proved his wares as he ensured that his side walked away with a narrow win as was relatively predicted before the game.
He just did that to send the visitors into warm reception outlining his (massive) significance to the title race as its concerned forvLiverpool.
While Salah and Mane might have shared the goal-scoring burden for Liverpool more as on themselves Firmino respond with an expert finish (exemplary) to seal the win just like he did against Tottenham Hotspur to save Jürgen Klopp and his side blushes in the game.
