Best away for Liverpool – Wolves goalkeeper got tough – VG

– We just got an update and it’s good. He is fully conscious and remembers what happened, Wolves coach Nuno Espírito Santo told the club’s website on Monday night.

It’s the injury to Wolves goalkeeper Rui Patrício that matters after the game in Molineux. The game stopped for a quarter of an hour while the Portuguese received oxygen and protected himself with a neck brace before being taken away. He is said to have collided with the knee of his own midfielder Conor Coady in a situation where a Mohamed Salah goal was ruled offside five minutes before the end of the match.

– We’ve already talked together. All these situations when there is a concussion and around the head, we worry. But he is doing well and will bounce back, the Wolves boss continues.

– I spoke to the doctor and he said he would be fine. Of course, we must take all precautions when there is a concussion and head injury, but the first signs are fine, he adds.

According to Wolves goalkeeper Romain Saïss, the goalkeeper was also conscious while on the pitch.

– A terrible situation. I spoke to the Wolverhampton management. They are quite positive. A real shock, describes Liverpool manager Jürgen Klopp.

– I hope it is not something serious and that he recovers quickly, says his compatriot and match winner Diogo Jota to Sky Sports.

Liverpool are on the verge of making one of the weakest defenses of the title since the Premier League began in the 1992/93 season. But it helped with a win at Molineux, the fourth win in the last five Premier League away games.

When we add two sure wins over Leipzig in Budapest, there is no doubt that Liverpool currently works better away from Merseyside.

Jota was the highlight of the first half. The former Wolves player made it 0-1 in the second extra minute after a combination between Sadio Mané and Mohamed Salah.

The Portuguese shot was in the right corner of compatriot Rui Patricio. The unfortunate goalkeeper later put a glove on the ball, but it wasn’t enough. Thus, Liverpool scored on their third opportunity. Mané had the first two.

– A good goal, says Jota, who says it is “very special” to be back on his old ground.

The home team was not without opportunities. But neither Ruben Neves nor Nélson Semedo managed to pass the ball over Alisson in the Liverpool cage. But the Brazilian goalkeeper was lucky when he lost a post from Adama Traoré early on. Alisson collided with Semedo. The wolves could have started the game with a penalty kick.

– I think it’s a punishment, says Erik Thorstvedt in the TV 2 studio.

Conor Coady had a great scoring opportunity at his old club just after the break, but the Wolverhampton captain went ahead. The team of Nuno Espirito Santos suffers the injury of Raúl Jiménez, he is also looking for a blow to the head. Without the tip, the sharpness in front of the goal is lacking. Two goals in the last four games have yielded only two points.

Liverpool’s newly acquired blocking pair Nat Phillips and Ozan Kabak kept the score at zero, while Salah was a few inches offside when he hit the ball into goal five minutes before the end. Then Wolverhampton goalkeeper Patrick received the terrible blast.

Things are definitely not going the yellow path at the moment.

– An extremely frustrating season for Wolverhampton, says TV 2 commentator Nils Johan Semb.

Liverpool are now five points behind Chelsea in fourth and final place in the Champions League.

– It was all about the result, says Jürgen Klopp.

– It’s perfectly fine for me to win three “dirty points”, says the Liverpool manager, who thought the team wasn’t screwed up enough from the start. But Klopp is very satisfied with a very important victory before the national team break.
