Wolves 1-2 Liverpool: Key stats as Reds refuse to relent
And so the march continues. There were spells in this frantic contest where Liverpool's unbeaten run looked in real peril, but at the ground where their title 'rivals' Manchester City so spectacularly collapsed, they held firm before snatching victory.
It's unlikely that the Premier League has ever seen a side with this capacity to grind out results. In that respect, they are the envy of the footballing, if not the entire sporting, world.

Liverpool have simply forgotten what …
Wolves 1-2 Liverpool: Who Was Man of the Match?
Those dastardly Reds have done it again; the pesky mentality monsters have stolen 3 points at Molineux after a very below-par performance. Roberto Firmino’s late winner puts Liverpool a remarkable 16 points clear at the top of the Premier League with a game in hand.

Relentless Liverpool Tame Wolves Late On
Liverpool kept their Premier League winning streak alive with a hard fought 2-1 victory away to Wolves.

Mo Salah: Both underappreciated & overprotected?
Contrary to popular belief, Mohamed Salah is much more like Cristiano Ronaldo than Lionel Messi.
The Egyptian superstar may possess the latter's gorgeous left foot and low centre of gravity, but there is so much more about him that screams Ronaldo.
Away from the grinning face and all-round likeable personality, there is a huge ego where Salah is concerned - he is someone who knows exactly how good he is, precisely how many goals he has scored and is well …
The Secret Behind Liverpool's System
People are going out of their way to not credit Liverpool for their ridiculous season to date. As things stand, VAR has been used as a reason the Reds find themselves 14 points clear with a game in hand. Rival fans have also claimed Jurgen Klopp has been lucky, with the table-toppers avoiding serious injuries, apparently.

Does Rashford get into the Liverpool XI?
We’re in 2020 yet people are still judging players on goals scored.
Heading into Liverpool’s clash with Manchester United, the big talking point centred around whether or not Marcus Rashford would get into Jurgen Klopp’s starting XI. As outlandish as it sounds, some genuinely believed that to be the case. Their argument was based around the fact the United No.10 had more goals to his name than any of the starting trio the Reds, and that on current form he’d …
Liverpool Make World-Class Stars
Jamie Carragher is right, Liverpool don’t tend to buy superstars. Speaking after the 1-0 win over Spurs, the former Reds centre-back heaped praise on Jurgen Klopp and the recruitment team at Anfield.
"It's not that Liverpool are just buying players with this special ability that nobody else sees these players," Carragher told Sky Sports.
"[Andy] Robertson came from Hull City, [Gini] Wijnaldum was relegated with Newcastle United, Mohamed Salah had been at Chelsea, Sadio Mane had been in the Premier …
