By Premier League leaders Liverpool extended their advantage at the top of the table to seven points after a hard-fought 2-1 victory over Wolverhampton Wanderers at Anfield on Sunday. Goals from Luis Díaz and Mohamed Salah secured the crucial win.
The result came just a day after Arsenal closed the gap to four points with a 2-0 away victory over Leicester City. The Gunners secured their win thanks to two late goals from Mikel Merino, temporarily putting pressure on Liverpool ahead of their clash with Wolves.
Liverpool started strong, with Díaz opening the scoring in the 15th minute after bundling in a close-range effort. The Colombian forward later won a penalty, which Salah calmly converted, marking his 23rd league goal of the season—further solidifying his position as the Premier League’s top scorer.
Despite Liverpool’s dominance in the first half, Wolves fought back bravely. With their Premier League survival at stake, they exploited Liverpool’s second-half sloppiness and found a breakthrough in the 67th minute when Matheus Cunha curled a stunning low shot past Alisson.
The visitors threatened to equalize late on, causing some nervy moments for Arne Slot’s side, but Liverpool held firm to secure all three points. The victory keeps them in pole position for the Premier League title, maintaining a healthy lead over Arsenal.
With the season approaching its final stretch, Liverpool’s resilience and firepower continue to set the pace, keeping their title dreams alive as they look to fend off challengers in the coming weeks.
