Liverpool clashed heads with Wolverhampton Wanderers at the Molineux Stadium earlier this evening as they hoped to secure a good result on their travels in the Premier League. The Reds made a solid start to the game and got their noses ahead in the first half injury-time thanks to Ibrahima Konate’s header. Arne Slot’s men went into the half-time break 1-0 up on the scoreline.
The Merseyside club gifted Wolves the equaliser in the 56th minute when Rayan Ait-Nouri pounced on the loose ball after a breakdown in communication between the Liverpool defenders and scored from close range. However, Mohamed Salah restored Liverpool’s lead just five minutes later from the penalty spot. The match ended with the Merseyside giants earning a narrow 2-1 win away from home.
Let’s take a look at how each Liverpool player performed during the match against Wolves.

The Brazilian keeper made a couple of solid saves at the back but won’t be pleased about conceding such a poor goal in the second half.
RB: Trent Alexander-Arnold – 6.5/10
He performed his defensive duties well and was a threat going forward.
CB: Ibrahima Konate – 7.5/10
Konate was solid at the back for most of the game and scored with a good header in the latter stages of the first half. However, he committed a poor error at the back which gifted Wolves the equaliser.
CB: Virgil Van Dijk – 7/10
He controlled the game well from the back and didn’t put a foot wrong defensively.

CM: Alexis Mac Allister – 6.5/10
Mac Allister distributed the ball well from midfield but offered very little in the final third.

He got himself into some dangerous areas but missed a sitter from point-blank range in the first half.
LW: Luis Diaz – 6/10
Diaz caught the eye at times but failed to make a difference in the final third.
