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.
Some 90 seconds later, Wirtz - finding the back of the net for the first time in a competitive match since his arrival on Merseyside - prodded home past Jose Sa after collecting a through ball from the in-form Hugo Ekitike, sending Liverpool into the break with what looked to be a comfortable advantage.
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.
