Overview
- Liverpool beat Wolves 2-1 at Anfield to extend an unbeaten run and move into the top four.
- Florian Wirtz scored his first Liverpool goal as the winner after a through ball from Hugo Ekitike, with Slot saying he expects many more.
- Ekitike’s form and minutes have grown in importance with Alexander Isak out with a broken leg and Mohamed Salah away at the Africa Cup of Nations.
- Jeremie Frimpong returned from injury and registered another assist, reinforcing Slot’s emphasis on adding outright speed.
- Set-piece frailty persisted with another concession from a dead ball, a negative balance Slot has highlighted despite improved results.
