Liverpool won another victory, since his search to win the Premier League continues, although Sunday’s 2-1 victory over Wolverhampton Wanderers was surprisingly close to comfort.
The Reds went up 2-0 before part time thanks to Luis Díaz and Mohamed Salah, with the Egypt International scoring their 28th goal of the season through a penalty. However, Liverpool ended up playing a somewhat uniform game with Wolves, who withdrew one when Matheus Cunha scored in the 67th minute and surpassed the hosts. None of the parties really gathered a large enough effort to add more goals to the game, so Liverpool came out with an important victory.
Here is a look at the most important moments of Sunday’s game.
Moment of the party
The goal of Díaz 15 minutes was a show to be seen, but not necessarily for the right reasons. While he did the job of guaranteeing that Liverpool built the foundations for a victory, the goal was an incredibly careless defense example of the wolves. The visitors’ attempts to keep Liverpool at bay were not enough, and the reds seemed incredibly easy to move around their counterparts and other wolves who are only wrong for their complete defensive works. Although the game was even more than Liverpool liked, the Wolves’ mistakes facilitated an antiptic team to take the three points.
Party man
It was not a particularly exciting exit to anyone, but Díaz deserves credit for his effort on Sunday. He scored the most important opening goal of the game and gathered 0.35 goals expected to combine his individual expected objectives and the expected assists, which was a considerable part of Liverpool’s total offensive production.
What means the result for Liverpool
The Reds are seven points in the second place of Arsenal in the Premier League table, so they were heading for the weekend.
What follows?
Liverpool returns to the action of the Premier League on Wednesday, when they face Aston Villa de Eighth place in what could be a great proof of his title challenge.
