Liverpool clashed heads with Wolverhampton Wanderers at the Molineux Stadium earlier today as they hoped to secure all three points on the road. The Reds made a slow start to the game and conceded the opening goal in the seventh minute when Hwang Hee-chan scored with a tidy finish. Jurgen Klopp‘s men lacked ideas in the first half and went into the half-time break 1-0 down on the scoreline.
Cody Gakpo equalised for Liverpool with a solid finish from close range in the 55th minute. Andrew Robertson completed the turnaround for the visitors in the 85th minute with a great run and finish. Hugo Bueno scored an unfortunate own goal in injury-time as the Merseyside club ran away with an impressive 3-1 win from the Molineux.
