Sharjah 24 – Asaad Khalil:

Liverpool snatched 3 valuable points by defeating its host Wolverhampton, 2/1, in the sixth round of the English Football League.

Liverpool took the lead, with a goal from French defender Ibrahima Konate, in the second minute of stoppage time in the first half.

Konate celebrated his first goal in the English Premier League, after 57 matches in a Liverpool shirt since joining from German Leipzig in the summer of 2021.

The hosts equalized with a goal by Algerian player Rayan Ait Nouri in the 56th minute.

Liverpool snatched victory with a second goal scored by Mohamed Salah in the 61st minute from a penalty kick, bringing the Egyptian star’s tally to 4 goals in the league this season, after scoring against Ipswich Town, Manchester United and Brentford in the previous rounds.

Salah also scored a goal in the second match in a row, after leaving his mark in a sweeping victory over West Ham United, 5-1, in the English League Cup, last Wednesday evening.

The match witnessed an exceptional event, as it was the first in the history of the English Premier League in which two Arab players scored for two different teams.

With this win, Liverpool raised its score to 15 points, jumping to the top of the standings, followed by champion Manchester City and Arsenal with 14 points each.

On the other hand, Wolverhampton’s suffering continued, leaving it in twentieth and last place with one point from one draw versus five defeats.
