Luis Díaz showed why he is vital for Liverpool. He led the team to a hard-fought 2-1 win over Wolverhampton. The Colombian forward scored and won the penalty that Mohamed Salah converted. As a result, Liverpool stayed at the top of the Premier League with 60 points from 25 matches. Meanwhile, Arsenal remains seven points behind in second place.

A Game-Changing Performance

Right from the start, Díaz wasted no time making an impact. In the 15th minute, he scored after a brilliant attacking sequence. Jota spun past Matt Doherty and set up the chance. Then, Díaz tried to chest Salah’s pass, and a lucky deflection off Toti Gomes sent the ball into the net.

From that moment on, Liverpool kept pushing. Jota came close multiple times, and Szoboszlai narrowly missed the target. Then, in the 37th minute, Díaz earned a penalty after a foul from Sa. Without hesitation, Salah stepped up and buried it down the middle, doubling the lead.

Wolves Fight Back

Although Liverpool looked comfortable, Wolves quickly responded. In the 67th minute, Matheus Cunha curled a stunning shot past Alisson, making the game tense. From that point forward, Liverpool had to stay sharp. Alisson made key saves, while Jarell Quansah delivered a last-minute sliding tackle to deny Tommy Doyle. In the end, Liverpool held on, securing three crucial points in front of 60,401 fans.

Liverpool’s Historic Scoring Streak

Liverpool’s 2-1 win over Wolverhampton extended their incredible scoring streak at Anfield. They have netted at least twice in 17 straight home games across all competitions. This run has continued through the Premier League, Champions League, FA Cup, and Carabao Cup. Remarkably, this streak has broken a club record that had stood since the 1893-94 season.

Looking Ahead

Liverpool’s victory proves their resilience. Díaz stepped up, and Salah delivered once again. The team remains in a strong position, but they must stay sharp. The title race is far from over, and every point matters.
