Wolves may feel disappointed to be leaving Anfield without a point and that tells you everything you need to know about their performance against Premier League leaders Liverpool.
At half-time, that would have been hard to believe with Liverpool dominant in a first half that saw them go into the break with a 2-0 lead thanks to goals from Luis Diaz and Mohamed Salah.
Wolves boss Vitor Pereira was disappointed with the first half display and he told Sky Sports: “The first half was a lot of respect, too much respect.
“We cannot play football this way. We like to press high and to create chances, have the ball and play with courage.”
Well, press high and create chances is exactly what Wolves did in the second half and debutant Marshall Munetsi forced an excellent save from Alisson before Matheus Cunha halved the deficit with over 20 minutes to play with a great finish into the far corner.
It looked only a matter of time before Wolves would find the equaliser for a stunning comeback but a tremendous piece of last-ditch defending from Jarell Quansah made sure the Reds maintained their lead.
Wolves pushed the league leaders all the way and can take huge positives going into their next match when they travel to Bournemouth on Saturday.
