Jeremie Frimpong got to the byline with a burst of pace and cut the ball back for Ryan Gravenberch to curl into the bottom corner at the near post.It was 2-0 around 90 seconds later as Ekitike found space and slipped Wirtz in and the German toe-poked in his first Liverpool goal one-on-one with goalkeeper Jose Sa.

Arokodare headed a good chance over the bar and Conor Bradley was forced into a goal-saving tackle as Wolves pushed for an equaliser.Wolves could not find another goal and Liverpool held on to move past Manchester United and Chelsea in the Premier League table ahead of the Blues facing Aston Villa in Saturday's late kick-off.
