Liverpool defenders Virgil van Dijk and Mohamed Salah earned Liverpool a hard-fought Premier League win against Wolverhampton that boosts their hopes of finishing in the top four of the Premier League. Jurgen Klopp’s side looked to be facing a frustrating evening at Anfield when Darwin Nunez’s strike was ruled out by VAR.
Van Dijk made the breakthrough with a close-range header from Diogo Jota’s cross before Salah scored four minutes later to make the score 2-0. The win moves Liverpool up to sixth in the table, six points behind fourth-place Tottenham Hotspur with a game in hand.
Wolves remain 15th, three points above the relegation zone, having offered a minimal threat going forward.
