The Reds faced a challenging first half but managed to claim the top spot in the Premier League standings. Notably, Andy Robertson, celebrating his 200th Premier League appearance for Liverpool, played a pivotal role in securing the win with a late goal.

The Scottish left-back, standing in as captain due to Virgil van Dijk's suspension, capitalized on a well-executed pass from Mohamed Salah to net his eighth goal at Anfield and Liverpool's first in the match.

Liverpool initially fell behind to an early goal from Wolves' Hee Chan-Hwang. This match held a reminder of Jurgen Klopp's frustrating 3-0 defeat against Wolves in February.

The German manager had expressed his discontent, stating he had "no words" for that performance and had doubts about today's game.

Liverpool's defense and midfield struggled in the first half, reminiscent of their issues seven months ago.

However, Klopp's side regrouped in the second half, with Cody Gakpo leveling the score in the 55th minute following an assist from Salah.

The momentum had shifted, and in stoppage time, Harvey Elliott's shot deflected off Hugo Bueno and found the net, ultimately credited as an own goal.

Elliott's goal sparked jubilation among Liverpool fans, with the young substitute racing towards the stands in celebration.

While Klopp undoubtedly savored the comeback, he may have lingering concerns about the defensive vulnerabilities displayed by his team during the first half of the game.
