Match report: Late Firmino winner sees Reds beat Wolves

Roberto Firmino lashed home a late winner to earn Liverpool a dramatic 2-1 victory at Wolverhampton Wanderers on Thursday.

A hard-fought contest appeared to be heading for a draw after Raul Jimenez had equalised Jordan Henderson’s early opener – a fine header from Trent Alexander-Arnold’s corner – in the early stages of the second half.

But the Premier League leaders regrouped and once again dipped into their seemingly boundless reserves of resolve, registering a 22nd win from 23 Premier League match this season through Firmino’s emphatic left-footed finish in the 84th minute.

The Reds sit 16 points clear of second-placed Manchester City, with a game in hand on their nearest rivals.
