Liverpool have climbed to the top of the Premier League table with a win over Wolves in the Premier League, MySportDab reports.

The Reds tarted the game on the front foot but struggled to have the better of a resilient Wolves side.

Settling for the low block and hoping to catch the visitors on counters, Wolves made well their attempt to frustrate the Arne Slot-led side.

It was a fast-paced game with Liverpool pulling all the strings to break the deadlock. A series of missed chances and brilliant blocks nearly saw the Reds settle for a draw against the home side in the first half before they finally found a breakthrough.

The goal came after Wolves nearly raced to the finish line at the break with a 0-0 draw but were undone by a relentless Liverpool attack.

Diogo Jota provided the assist for the goal, whipping in a cross for Ibrahim Konate. The French defender perfectly timed and headed it past Johnstone to give the Reds the lead in almost the last touch of the ball before the break.

Nothing changed in the second half, Wolves continued to play second fiddle to Liverpool and made little progress on the attack.

The Reds continued to hold sway over proceedings and it appeared Arne Slot was close to his fifth Premier League win in six matches.

Salah had an early chance in the second half to double the lead but squander it to keep Wolves’ comeback hopes alive.

In the second half, Wolves made a stunning comeback through Ait-Nouri after Ibrahim Konate was dispossessed inside the Reds’ half.

Ait-Nouri scored from close range after a goal-mouth scramble to peg the away side to 1-1 draw. However, Liverpool found a way to retake the lead through Mohamed Salah’s spot-kick goal.

Proceedings ended with Liverpool securing a 2-0 victory to go top of the Premier League table with 15 points , a point better than Manchester City and Arsenal.
