Liverpool produced another dramatic turnaround on the road as two late goals earned them a 3-1 win at Wolverhampton Wanderers on Saturday.
Hwang Hee-chan slotted in with seven minutes on the clock in Saturday’s Premier League clash at Molineux, providing the hosts a lead they held until early in the second half. Cody Gakpo’s close-range finish from Mohamed Salah’s assist brought the Reds level, though, and the latter then set up Andy Robertson – Jürgen Klopp’s captain on the day – to tuck in a cool 85th-minute effort.
Substitute Harvey Elliott helped to increase Liverpool’s sudden lead with a strike off the post in stoppage time that was given as a Hugo Bueno own goal, ensuring a fourth consecutive victory. Jarell Quansah made his first competitive start for the senior team, deployed at centre-back with Joe Gomez moving to the right side of defence in place of the injured Trent Alexander-Arnold.
Speaking after the game, Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp said: “Usually you learn things like this a bit later in the season about your team. Obviously we learned pretty quick, pretty early,” adding: ‘Yes, we are not stable yet, we are not. I think with all the changes we made now and again for this game today, how can we be stable? I don’t ask for that. I ask to try everything, for making the next steps and stuff like this. In the first half, it was obviously not the case but the second half even more so and that is super-helpful.”
