Virgil van Dijk and Mohamed Salah scored for Liverpool to boost their top-four hopes with a 2-0 home victory over Wolves.

The stalemate appeared to be over when Núñez slotted into the far corner following a determined run into the area by Jota. Fabinho was booked for catching Mario Lemina’s knee with his studs after the Wolves midfielder had dived into a challenge to retrieve a loose first touch. The Brazil international pleaded his innocence but was fortunate to escape a second yellow card when clipping João Gomes as the substitute attempted to break away. Elliott should have opened the scoring when Jota released Núñez to the byline and the Uruguay international floated a perfect cross into Wolves’ six-yard box. Lopetegui replaced the booked Sarabia with Adama Traoré at half-time in a bid to rediscover the urgency that had vanished from Wolves’ attacking display. Victory lifted Liverpool to sixth and six points behind fourth-placed Tottenham with a game in hand.
