Premier League-Díaz and Salah each scored a goal, Liverpool beat Wolves 2-1 and remained at the top of the table

The 25th round of the 2024/25 Premier League continued, and Liverpool defeated Wolves 2-1 at home. After the victory, they topped the list with a record of 18 wins, 6 draws and 1 loss, leading Arsenal by as many as 7 points.

Wolves are ranked 17th in the Premier League with 5 wins, 4 draws and 16 losses, accumulating 19 points, just 2 points away from the relegation zone.

First Half

After 20 league games without defeat, Liverpool started the game very strongly. Just one minute into the game, Robertson took a tactical corner kick from the left to the left side of the penalty area, and Arnold's shot missed the target. In the 8th minute, Arnold's cross from the front court caused Semedo to not clear the ball far away, and Jota's volley in the penalty area was slightly off target.

In the 15th minute, Luis Diaz sent a lob pass to Salah in a counterattack, and scored after the Egyptian's pass was blocked by Totti Gomes. This ball was Diaz's first Premier League goal since December 29 last year, and he also helped Liverpool take a 1-0 lead.

Finally ending his 10-game scoring drought, Diaz continued to play more and more bravely. In the 35th minute, he was tackled by Jose Sa when he broke into the penalty area, and Liverpool was awarded a penalty kick. Salah then took the penalty kick and scored, extending the score to 2-0.

However, Liverpool had threatened the opponent's goal many times before: in the 21st minute, McAllister took a corner kick from the right side, and Jota headed the ball in the penalty area over the crossbar. In the 26th minute, Soboslai's long-range shot slipped out of the goal during a fast break. In the 32nd minute, Robertson made a pass or shot from the left bottom, but was blocked by José Sa. Jota's follow-up shot was blocked again, and Arnold's long-range shot then went wide.

Second Half

After the break, Liverpool failed to continue their first-half performance despite leading by two goals. In the 50th minute, Bellegarde made a through pass from midfield to create a one-on-one opportunity for Munetz, who pushed the ball but was blocked by Alisson. In the 51st minute, Salah cut inside and scored from half court, but the goal was ruled invalid because he was offside.

In the 56th minute, Jota was tripped by Agbadu in the penalty area, almost winning Liverpool's second penalty kick of the game. Three minutes later, the referee watched the VAR replay on the sidelines and determined that there was no physical contact between the two sides, and cancelled the penalty kick. In the 67th minute, Bellegarde made a cross from the right, and Cunha dribbled past Gravenberch and shot from a long distance to equalize the game.

After that, neither side made any progress. Liverpool finally held on to the victory with a one-goal advantage, extending their unbeaten record in the Premier League to 21 games.
