Liverpool tightened their grip on the Premier League summit with a hard-fought 2-1 victory over Wolverhampton Wanderers on Sunday, extending their lead to seven points.
Goals from Luis Diaz and Mohamed Salah secured the win, though Wolves provided a stern test.
The Reds appeared to be in full control when Diaz bundled in the opener after 15 minutes and later earned a penalty, which Salah calmly slotted home, his 23rd league goal, reinforcing his status as the division’s top scorer.
However, Wolves, battling relegation, refused to go down quietly. A lackluster second half from Liverpool allowed Matheus Cunha to capitalize, curling a precise strike beyond Alisson in the 67th minute to set up a tense finish.
Despite the scare, Arne Slot’s side held firm, reaching 60 points and keeping their title ambitions on course.
Arsenal, their closest challengers, remain on 53 points, with both teams having 13 games left in the campaign.
