Salah Strikes Again as Liverpool Edge Wolves to Extend Premier League Lead

Posted : 16 February 2025

Mohamed Salah extended his impressive goal-scoring form as Liverpool edged past Wolves to strengthen their position at the top of the Premier League. The Egyptian forward netted from the penalty spot, bringing his tally to five goals in four league matches, with manager Arne Slot observing from the sidelines.

 

Slot, who was sent off following Liverpool’s Merseyside derby draw with Everton, has until Wednesday to respond to an FA charge.

 

Despite the late drama against Everton in midweek, Liverpool started brightly at Anfield and took the lead in the 15th minute when Luis Díaz capitalized on a deflected pass from Salah to end his ten-game goal drought.

 

Liverpool doubled their advantage 22 minutes later after Wolves goalkeeper José Sá fouled Díaz in the box, allowing Salah to confidently convert from the spot for his 23rd league goal of the campaign.

 

The home side appeared to be cruising at halftime, but Wolves fought back as Matheus Cunha curled in a superb strike in the 67th minute, extending Liverpool’s run without a home clean sheet since December 1.

 

The Reds thought they had another penalty when Emmanuel Agbadou was penalized for a challenge on Diogo Jota, but a VAR review overturned the decision, showing no contact had been made.

 

Wolves had multiple chances to level the score, with debutant Marshall Munetsi forcing a brilliant one-on-one save from Alisson before João Gomes sent his shot over the bar.

 

 As the visitors pressed for an equalizer in the closing stages, nerves grew at Anfield, but Liverpool held firm to secure the victory and restore their seven-point lead at the top of the table.
