Salah sinks Wolves to send Liverpool seven points clear

Liverpool have restored their seven-point lead at the top of the Premier League with a hard-fought 2-1 win against Wolverhampton Wanderers.

Arne Slot’s team had to hold off a fightback at Anfield from relegation-threatened Wolves, who threatened on Sunday after a brilliant long-range goal from Matheus Cunha.

First-half strikes from Luis Diaz and Mohamed Salah secured the win for Liverpool and ensured they maintained their advantage over second-placed Arsenal.

Liverpool failed to register a single shot on target after the break as Wolves dominated the chances.

Diaz bundled the ball over the line from close range in the 15th minute to give the home team the lead, before Salah doubled the advantage from the penalty spot in the 37th after Diaz was brought down.

It was the Egypt international’s 28th goal of an outstanding season.

But if the home crowd was expecting a routine victory against Wolves, it was anything but.

Cunha’s drag-back and curled finish from around 20 metres in the 67th minute came after a sustained ******* of pressure from the visitors.

Before that, Marshall Munetsi was denied when through on goal — it took a crucial block in front of goal from Jarell Quansah to prevent him from converting late on.

Tottenham were hosting fellow strugglers Manchester United later on Sunday.
