Liverpool moved to the top of the Premier League as Divock Origi\u2019s stoppage-time winner gave them a 1-0 victory at Wolves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Chelsea\u2019s defeat at West Ham earlier in the day had given Liverpool the perfect incentive for a fifth straight win in all competitions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jurgen Klopp\u2019s men had scored at least two goals in their previous 18 Premier League games.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But Liverpool were blunted for once by defiant Wolves hosts until substitute Origi continued his habit of scoring important goals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Belgium international spared Diogo Jota\u2019s blushes after the forward hit Conor Coady on the line following Jose Sa\u2019s second-half mistake.<\/p>\n
