Mohamed Salah equalled Sergio Aguero’s Premier League tally with his goal in Liverpool’s 2-1 win at Wolves, with only five players now recording more. Salah netted the winner from the spot after Diogo Jota was hauled down to secure the Reds a hairy victory at Molineux. It was the Egyptian’s fifth goal of the campaign in all competitions, pulling him level with Luis Diaz as Liverpool’s top scorers so far this season. In the Premier League, that finish made it four goals and four assists in six games for Salah, who is averaging a goal contribution every 66.63 minutes. Overall…
It wasn’t pretty, but Liverpool moved to the top of the Premier League table by seeing off Wolves on Saturday. Even though Gary O’Neil’s side are sitting bottom of the Premier League table and without a win, they made sure Arne Slot’s men had to seriously work for their points. For large parts, it was a pretty flat 45 minutes, but just before the break, Ibrahima Konate headed Liverpool into the lead following a wicked cross from Diogo Jota. But then the away side gifted Wolves a goal, following a mistake from Konate, before Mohamed Salah netted from the spot…
Liverpool manager Arne Slot made a cheeky comment in response to Ibrahima Konate’s claims after the Reds’ 2-1 win against Wolverhampton Wanderers at the Molineux. The Merseyside giants were not at their best against the Midlands club on Saturday, September 28, but secured all three points to rise to the top of the table. Liverpool defender Ibrahima Konate scored the opener for Arne Slot’s side with a header (45+2′) but made an error which led to Wolves’ equalizer (56′). The Merseyside giants, however, came up with a quick reply with Mohamed Salah converting a spot-kick won by Diogo Jota (61′).Midfielder…
It doesn’t require a massive stretch of the imagination to have pictured Andre Trindade lining up for Liverpool rather than against them at Molineux. The Brazil international was briefly in the crosshairs of the Reds during their prolonged pursuit of a defensive midfielder last year before his club Fluminense put a firm halt on any talks. Both parties have since moved on, Andre rocking up at Wolves during this summer while Liverpool 12 months earlier brought in Wataru Endo and then Ryan Gravenberch. The Anfield dream was over for Andre. And the midfielder’s showing from the first whistle was very…
While the back pages of Saturday’s papers screeched of a “war” that is now apparently brewing between Manchester City and Arsenal, Liverpool simply got on with the business of going top of the Premier League. The ascent to the summit of the English game in recent years has been typically met with a hearty rendition of “Liverpool, Liverpool top of the league” by Reds supporters, but the fact that no such terrace anthem was belted out here at Wolves, not in any great volume at least, was symbolic of a team who are instead content stay away from the spotlight…
Check out the announcing and officiating crews for Sunday’s contest between the 49ers and Patriots. One might think soon-to-be Hall of Fame quarterback Tom Brady would be assigned to the announcing crew for Fox Sports in Week 4 when his boyhood team, the San Francisco 49ers, welcome the franchise he made famous, the New England Patriots. Well, no. Brady, who is going through his first season on the broadcasting side, will actually be on the call for a game between the Philadelphia Eagles and another one of his former teams, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. However, it’s fair to wonder if…
There’s a legitimate possibility the New England Patriots will start a fourth left tackle in as many games when they face the San Francisco 49ers on Sunday. Demontrey Jacobs, who the Patriots claimed off the waiver wire after their 53-man roster crunch, could be tasked to face Niners edge rusher Nick Bosa. Jacobs was inactive during Weeks 1 and 2 before he received the gameday elevation in Week 3. “He’s a nightmare,” Patriots offensive coordinator Alex Van Pelt told reporters Thursday in reference to Bosa, per a team-provided video. “We have to make sure we don’t let him ruin the…
The San Francisco 49ers are in a desperate situation through three weeks of the 2024 NFL season. San Francisco is 1-2 and sits at the bottom of the NFC West after losing to the Rams in Week 3. The 49ers are also very banged up, with injuries to key players like Deebo Samuel, Christian McCaffrey, and George Kittle. Thankfully, one of these players just got some good injury news heading into Week 4. 49ers fans got an update on Kittle’s status from NFL Network’s Ian Rapaport this morning on Good Morning Football. “It seems that they have a shot at…
Liverpool boss Arne Slot says he will not read too much into his side’s opening six games despite them sitting top of the Premier League. With Manchester City dropping points away at Newcastle United earlier in the day, Liverpool knew all three points at Wolves would send them top of the pile. Ibrahima Konate gave Liverpool the lead on the stoke of half time, but they were pegged back by Rayan Ait-Nouri ten minutes into the second half. Liverpool quickly struck back though and a penalty from Mohamed Salah just after the hour mark proved the difference as the Reds…
The Reds had been in good form going into the game having won three on the spin following a setback against Nottingham Forest. But little of that was on display in the early stages of Liverpool’s trip to Molineux. The Reds were loose in possession, lacklustre in the press and leggy whenever given the chance to break forward. Nevertheless, despite a less than vintage performance, Arne Slot has Liverpool sitting top of the Premier League. Goals from Ibrahima Konate and Mohamed Salah helped them get there, but according to Gary Neville, neither player was the best on the pitch for…
