Liverpool managed to secure a narrow 2-1 victory against Wolverhampton Wanderers at Anfield, restoring their seven-point lead at the top of the Premier League table. The match saw Luis Diaz open the scoring in the 15th minute, followed by a penalty from Mohamed Salah in the 37th minute, giving the Reds a comfortable 2-0 lead at halftime. However, the second half proved to be a different story, as Wolves fought back, with Matheus Cunha netting a goal in the 67th minute to set up a nervy finish.

Despite dominating possession early on, Liverpool's performance waned significantly in the second half, marking a historic moment as they failed to register a single shot on goal during that period—a first since records began in the 2003-04 season. Manager Arne Slot acknowledged the team's struggles, stating that while they managed to secure the win, it was not reflective of their usual attacking prowess. The Reds needed a solid performance after recent setbacks, including a defeat in the FA Cup and a tense draw against Everton.

Wolves, who entered the match having enjoyed two consecutive wins without conceding, showed resilience, especially in the second half. Their manager, Vitor Pereira, expressed frustration, believing that his team had the quality to challenge Liverpool more effectively. Despite the loss, Wolves remain two points clear of the relegation zone, showcasing their potential for improvement. With crucial fixtures ahead, both teams will need to regroup and refocus as the Premier League season progresses.
