Liverpool 2-0 Wolves: Virgil van Dijk, Mohamed Salah boost top-four ... (Eurosport.com)

Liverpool moved within six points of the Champions League places with a 2-0 victory over Wolves in the Premier League.

The Dutchman's initial header is saved, but Jota sends the rebound back in and the Liverpool captain is there to nod home. Wolves feel Kilman was tripped by Jota, preventing him from being able to clear, and after taking a look on the pitch-side monitor the referee concurs. 45+2' ELLIOTT DENIED - Nunez again sets up Elliott, this time with a nice lay-off, and Elliott's scuffed shot calls Sa into action. Liverpool have three wins in their last four in the league and had key players such as Nunez and Ibrahima Konate back tonight, so things are trending in the right direction. On top of scoring, the Liverpool captain also kept Wolves' frontline quiet and never looked troubled. Subs: Ait-Nouri 6, Traore 4, Gomes 5, Podence 5, Costa n/a.

We have to be ready, and we will give them a big fight," Klopp said. [Diogo Jota](http://www.espn.com/soccer/player/_/id/208133/Diogo-Jota), but the [Portugal](/soccer/team?id=482) striker was deemed to have fouled [Max Kilman](https://www.espn.com/soccer/player/_/id/229967/Max-Kilman) in the build-up after a VAR review and the goal was chalked off. "You have to break an opponent down step by step, it's not often they make mistakes and you get easy goals in the 420 or something games I've had here." [Jota](https://www.espn.com/soccer/player/_/id/258915/Jota) put the rebound back across the goal for the [Netherlands](/soccer/team?id=449) international to head home from close range.

Let them watch rugby! France digs deeper hole in row with Liverpool ... (POLITICO.eu)

France's sports minister had hoped an invite to the Rugby World Cup in Paris could help ease tensions with the Liverpool FC supporters who were tear-gassed ...

The responsibility of the local police was covered up by the authorities; Liverpool fans were unfairly blamed. The Liverpool supporters’ associations have asked for a formal apology from the French government for the lies that were apparently told. Football is the sport of the working classes. In Wales and in France, Rugby Union is a working-class sport. And it has no rugby club of any size — neither Rugby League nor Rugby Union.

Liverpool player ratings vs Wolves: Virgil van Dijk & Mohamed Salah ... (Goal.com)

Mohamed Salah proved he cannot be considered down and out as he was among the goals in Liverpool's 2-0 win against Wolves on Wednesday.

The Egyptian star had a quiet and frustrating game for the most part but he popped up at a vital moment to put the win beyond doubt for Jurgen Klopp's men. His goal came just four minutes after Virgil van Dijk had headed in the opening goal, with the centre-back proving important at both ends of the pitch in a win that keeps the Anfield team in with a slight chance of a top-four finish.

Liverpool dilemma solved as Ibrahima Konaté unlocks rarely-seen ... (Liverpool.com)

While Liverpool's Champions League dream is surely over for another season, its 2022/23 Premier League campaign is finally threatening to get going.

[at Selhurst Park last weekend](https://www.liverpool.com/liverpool-fc-news/features/liverpool-crystal-palace-transfer-triple-26331848), with Liverpool conceding 0.6 expected goals (though no shots on target). Coincidence or not, Gomez and van Dijk also started [the 4-1 loss to Napoli](https://www.liverpool.com/liverpool-fc-news/features/liverpool-napoli-luis-diaz-thiago-24959087) and the 7-2 battering at Villa Park, among other bad games for the Reds. What might have been a difficult decision for Klopp in terms of which clean sheet pairing to use is now one of his simplest selection choices this weekend. While they got away with any shortcomings there, the same pairing were not treated so kindly by [Real Madrid](https://www.liverpool.com/liverpool-fc-news/features/liverpool-real-madrid-vinicius-klopp-26297615). And they are the pair which most supporters would select as the best available to Jürgen Klopp. The former Charlton defender was alongside Ibrahima Konaté for the Chelsea match, with the Blues amassing 1.5 expected goals. In a very strange season, Liverpool is severely testing the old adage that selection stability is essential to defensive success. In only five other seasons since the turn of the millennium have they had a longer stretch of shut-outs in the Premier League. While all 'nil's are equal when the points and prizes are handed out, we have underlying statistics to help assess which performances were better than others. This is helped enormously by the defensive record starting to settle down after a string of highs and lows. In 10 of the Reds’ last 12 matches, they have conceded either zero, three or five goals. [a horrendous loss at Molineux](https://www.liverpool.com/liverpool-fc-news/features/liverpool-wolves-jurgen-klopp-trend-26158066), the league match prior to that saw a fifth different duo [hold Chelsea at bay](https://www.liverpool.com/liverpool-fc-news/features/liverpool-klopp-bajcetic-champions-league-26037850) in a goalless draw.
