Wolverhampton –
Victory over Wolverhampton so relieving to Liverpool. Because, the Red have rarely won in a row this season.
Liverpool travel to Molineux Stadium on Tuesday (16/3/2021) early morning WIB, to look for three points. Because his competitors to the top four failed to get full points, such as Chelsea, Tottenham Hotspur, Everton, Aston Villa and West Ham United.
Playing the trio of Mohamed Salah, Sadio Mane and Diogo Jota, Liverpool let Wolves control the match with 54 percent ball possession.
However, they were able to release 12 attempts, with 12 of them aimed at goal. The goal that Liverpool had been waiting for arrived in the first half of injury time.
With a quick counter-attack, Mohamed Salah made a pass to Mane who thrust it straight at Jota on his left. Jota coldly beat Rui Patricio between the sticks.
Liverpool’s 1-0 score was able to defend until the end of the match. An additional three points makes the Reds move up to sixth in the standings with 46 points, five points from Chelsea in fourth place.
What’s even more exciting for Liverpool is this is their second straight win this year, having previously beaten RB Leipzig 2-0 in the second leg of the Champions League last 16.
The last time Liverpool were able to win two consecutive wins was when they beat Tottenham Hotspur and West Ham United at the end of January.
After that, Liverpool had four successive defeats in the Premier League, then won over Sheffield United 2-0, then lost streaks again to Chelsea and Fulham.
“Hopefully our performance is back. Of course we are working hard for that and now with two wins and two clean sheets, that’s very good. Now we will have an international break, but that’s football,” said Jota on the club’s official website.
Liverpool will face before a two-week holiday for the international break.
