Liverpool beat Wolverhampton Wanderers 3-1 away on Saturday thanks to two late goals in a scintillating comeback that sent the Reds - at least temporarily - to the top of the Premier League table.

The hosts dominated the first half at Molineux against an unusually sloppy Liverpool, with Hwang Hee-chan stroking in a 7th minute goal after a brilliant run from Pedro Neto, before Wolves missed a string of further chances.

Liverpool came out transformed in the second half, however, and Mohamed Salah set up fellow striker Cody Gakpo for a tap-in equaliser in the 55th minute.

Wearing the captain’s armband on his 200th Premier League appearance, Andy Robertson slid in Liverpool’s second from another Salah pass in the 85th minute as the visitors poured forward.

Liverpool made it three in time added on, with Wolves’ Hugo Bueno touching the ball into his own net from a shot by Harvey Elliott, sending the away fans into delirium.

The result put Liverpool top of the table for now on 13 points after five games. Wolves are 15th on three points.

Re-live the action from the Premier League match below.

Wolves 1-1 Liverpool

73 mins: Wolves fans are up in arms, but a foul has been awarded Liverpool’s way by Michael Oliver, when Lemina would have been in.

It was potentially a bit of a soft foul, but Wolves would have been away.

72 mins: Nelson Semedo has been shown a yellow card for delaying a free-kick

Wolves 1-1 Liverpool

70 mins: Nunez could have scored there! He took an extra touch and it was blocked by a combination of goalkeeper and Wolves defenders.

Nunez did well to run into the box and make space for the shot but overhit one of his touches and was outstretched trying to poke the ball into the back of the net.

Wolves 1-1 Liverpool

68 mins: Liverpool just looking to attack here but it has calmed down a bit since the substitutions.

Wolves 1-1 Liverpool

65 mins: And he has had to come off with Bueno coming on in a like-for-like change. And he will be busy at left back against Salah now Liverpool have the momentum behind them

Wolves 1-1 Liverpool

64 mins: Just a small break in play here while Ait-Nouri receives some treatment on the field.

Wolves 1-1 Liverpool

62 mins: Liverpool look a completely different team to the one that started the match.

They are attacking and putting the pressure back on Wolves rather than allowing them to dictate play.

Sonia Twigg16 September 2023 13:51

Wolves 1-1 Liverpool

60 mins: Whether that’s the Liverpool changes or the injection from the goal, Wolves will make two changes.

Doherty has come off for goalscorer Hwang. And Silva will come on for Cunha.

GOAL! Wolves 1-1 Liverpool Gakpo scores!

55 mins: Gakpo who has been out of the game so far, is just in the right place to turn the ball in at the far post.

It’s Salah with the assist, just firing the ball across the face of the goal and Gakpo was in the right place at the right time, for what turned out to be his last involvement in the game.

Nunez and Elliot have come on, with Jota the other player to make way.

Sonia Twigg16 September 2023 13:45

Wolves 1-0 Liverpool

53 mins: It looks like there will be a double change from Liverpool, in addition to the one they made at half time.

Harvey Elliot is getting ready to come on.
