Liverpool Survive Scare Against Wolves and Extend Lead at the Top of the Premier League

Watch the highlights from Liverpool’s nervy victory over Wolves on Sunday, extending their lead at the top of the Premier League to seven points.

Goals from Luis Diaz and Mohamed Salah put the Reds in control, but a late strike from Matheus Cunha made for a nervy ending as Wolves piled on the pressure.

Liverpool started strong, breaking the deadlock just 15 minutes into the match. Diogo Jota, making his first league start since October, set up Luis Diaz, who converted with a clever finish to net his first Anfield league goal since September.

Salah doubled the lead from the penalty spot after Jose Sa fouled Diaz, marking his 29th goal of the season and his 23rd in the Premier League—matching his second-best season tally.

However, Wolves found a way back in the second half when Matheus Cunha curled a superb 25-yard strike past Alisson Becker, reducing the deficit and setting up a tense final 25 minutes.
