Liverpool edged out Wolverhampton Wanderers 1-0 in a hard-fought contest at Anfield on Sunday to restore a 13-point lead at the summit.
The Reds went ahead in the 42nd minute when Adam Lallana nudged the ball off for Sadio Mane to sweep in – the effort allowed to stand after a VAR check.
Wolves thought they’d levelled, however, when Pedro Neto guided a cross home in first-half stoppage-time, but it was chalked off by officials due to an adjudged offside in the build-up.
Both sides had opportunities in the second period – and Ruben Vinagre gave cause for concern when he struck narrowly wide in added time – but the hosts were able to hold on for victory.
