Once again, Liverpool had to work hard to win, but three goals in the second half were more than enough to defeat Wolves and break the 12.30 p.m. curse.
After the break for foreign travel, we had an early start to get us going again, and after just seven minutes, a comeback was required. They appear to have never departed.
Hwang Hee-chan’s opening goal was all too simple and took advantage of the Reds’ sluggish play. Jurgen Klopp’s personnel decisions, including choosing Alexis Mac Allister and Joe Gomez, were at best dubious.
The second half, thankfully, brought an early equaliser from Cody Gakpo as momentum shifted to Liverpool and with further changes the Reds put the result beyond doubt.
Andy Robertson with a superb finish and Harvey Elliott finishing it off, and all the while Mohamed Salah walked away with two assists.
From sluggish to triumphant, club football really is back.
