Mohamed Salah scored the winner in Liverpool’s 2-1 victory over Wolverhampton Wanderers in their English Premier League (EPL) encounter at the Molineux on Saturday.
The Egyptian king’s 61st-minute penalty was enough to seal consecutive wins for the Reds.
Ibrahima Konate had put Liverpool ahead on the stroke of halftime, nodding Diogo Jota’s cross into the net for 1-0 at the interval.
A defensive blunder by Liverpool on 56 minutes let Wolves back into the game, with Rayan Ait-Nouri, the beneficiary, slotting into an empty net to restore parity.

However, the visitors restored their lead through a penalty awarded moments after confirming Wolves equalizer, and Salah dispatched the eventual match-winner.
Arne Slot’s side returns to the top of the EPL table with 15 points from six matches, one ahead of Manchester City and Arsenal who are joint second.
