Liverpool Hold Nerve Against Wolves on Day of Reflection at AnfieldLiverpool edged past Wolves with a 2-1 Premier League victory on an afternoon shaped as much by emotion as by football. Florian
Florian Wirtz scored his first Premier League goal as Liverpool held on to beat Wolves 2-1 at a nervous Anfield.
When Liverpool made things tricky for themselves by conceding yet another goal from a set-piece, with Santiago Bueno poking home after Alisson Becker had saved a header from Tolo Arokodare, Wirtz put in a commendable defensive shift. This was highlighted when he sprinted back to clear the ball as the defence hesitated.
The second half commences with no changes for the Reds. Though they left the pitch with the momentum, it’s Wolves that come back with it. After earning a corner, Alisson blocks the first shot on goal, but the rebound is converted by Bueno to halve the Liverpool lead. No bueno from the Liverpool defense there.
