Ibrahima Konate headed home his first ever Premier League goal and Mohamed Salah converted a penalty as Liverpool climbed to the top of the Premier League table with a 2-1 victory over last-place Wolverhampton Wanderers on Saturday.
Arne Slot’s men have 15 points after six games, one more than both Manchester City and Arsenal, while Wolves are in 20th spot with a single point.
Konate scored in first-half injury time after Diogo Jota beat his man down the left then served up a pinpoint cross that the 25-year-old centre back leapt to head home.
Wolves capitalised on some sloppy defending by Konate, however, to level in the 56th minute. Konate appeared to be leaving the ball to run out for a goal kick but Jorgen Strand Larsen kept it in, and Rayan Ait-Nouri scored from close range.
Salah silenced the celebratory home crowd at Molineux five minutes later when Liverpool were awarded a penalty for Nelson Semedo‘s foul on Jota.
