Liverpool Edges Wolves 2-1 at Anfield with Gravenberch and Wirtz Scoring
Liverpool secured a 2-1 victory over Wolves at Anfield, with goals from Gravenberch and Wirtz. Gravenberch opened the scoring following a run from Jeremie Frimpong and a lay-off from Chiesa. Shortly after, Wirtz doubled the lead with his first goal for Liverpool in his 23rd appearance, capitalizing on a sequence involving Hugo Ekitiké.
Wolves pulled one back early in the second half through Santiago Bueno, who headed in from a corner after Alisson initially blocked the attempt on the line.
Mateus Mané started for Wolves and showed early promise by forcing a save from Alisson and firing a shot over the bar. Late in the match, Jørgen Strand Larsen and Jhon Arias came on, adding attacking pressure and nearly equalizing in the 86th minute before a dangerous cross was cleared by Conor Bradley.
The game also featured a tribute to Diogo Jota, with his two sons acting as mascots and wearing shirts bearing his number 20. Jota's widow, Rute Cardoso, watched the match from the sidelines.
