Liverpool Survives Scare From Wolves, Stays Unbeaten With 14th Straight League Win

WOLVERHAMPTON, England (AP) – Liverpool won a 14th straight Premier League game by beating Wolverhampton 2-1 as a late strike by Roberto Firmino moved the unbeaten leaders 16 points clear on Thursday.

The Brazil striker collected a pass from Jordan Henderson, who had given Liverpool the lead at Molineux, and lashed a left-footed shot into the corner in the 84th minute.

Wolves gave Jurgen Klopp's side one of its toughest tests this season and looked the team more likely to win after Raul Jimenez equalized in the 51st minute, cancelling out Henderson's eighth-minute header from a corner.
