Liverpool triumphed in a gritty away encounter against Wolverhampton Wanderers, securing a 2-1 victory in the sixth round of the Premier League. The match was closely contested, but the Reds managed to take the lead just before halftime. Ibrahima Konaté rose to the occasion, netting a crucial goal during stoppage time, which set the tone for the second half.
However, the Wolves responded quickly, leveling the score shortly after the break. Their equalizer added tension to the match, but Liverpool quickly regained their composure. Just a few minutes later, Mohamed Salah, demonstrating his trademark confidence, converted a penalty to put Liverpool back in front and seal the three points.
This goal marked an impressive milestone for Salah, as it was his third consecutive away match in the Premier League where he found the back of the net. The last time he achieved such a streak was back in October 2021.
With this victory, Liverpool surged to the top of the Premier League standings, now sitting ahead of Manchester City and Arsenal, both with 15 points. The win not only highlighted Liverpool’s resilience but also reinforced Salah’s vital role in their campaign this season.
