Given the limitations Wolves have, he was basically allowed to do that here before he switched to the right wing.This week, Slot said he had signed Ekitike in part because of his speed, and that must surely apply to Frimpong too, at least as much, if not more.

He was direct and pacy and really seemed to enjoy himself.Federico Chiesa chanceFederico Chiesa had only started one Premier League game before this one (the meaningless defeat at Brighton at the end of last season, when Liverpool had already wrapped up the title).Given a rare chance because of injuries and the suspension for Dominik Szoboszlai, the Italian struggled to get involved in the first half. He was stationed out wide but didn't get many touches.Those calling for him to play more often might get their wish, given there aren't many others available at the moment, but this was a reminder of why he doesn't play every week, and is perhaps most effective as a substitute.Hugo Ekitike in formHugo Ekitike had scored five goals in his last three games for Liverpool in the Premier League.
