Liverpool moved to the top of the Premier League as Divock Origi’s stoppage-time winner gave them a 1-0 victory at Wolves.
Chelsea’s defeat at West Ham earlier in the day had given Liverpool the perfect incentive for a fifth straight win in all competitions.
Jurgen Klopp’s men had scored at least two goals in their previous 18 Premier League games.
But Liverpool were blunted for once by defiant Wolves hosts until substitute Origi continued his habit of scoring important goals.
Origi fired in from close range in the fifth minute of time added on, just as it looked like the Reds would fail to score for the first time in eight months.
The Belgium international spared Diogo Jota’s blushes after the forward hit Conor Coady on the line following Jose Sa’s second-half mistake.
