Liverpool leapt into top spot in the Premier League with a win over rock-bottom Wolves but had to rely on Mohamed Salah to escape from a frustrating day. The Reds have enjoyed an excellent start to life under new boss Arne Slot , with a shock defeat at home to Nottingham Forest the only blemish on his record. Slot's side were frustrated for much of the first-half, but finallly got a deserved opener when Ibrahima Konate rose highest to head Diogo Jota's cross into the net, though Wolves keeper Sam Johnstone really should have kept it out.

It all came from Konate's error, as he dallied on the ball to allow himself to be dispossessed before Rayan Aït-Nouri fired in. But five minutes later they were back in front when Salah converted a penalty after Jota had been hauled down in the box.
