According to statistics, since the start of the 2020/21 season, VAR has led Liverpool 4 points, otherwise they definitely lead the Premier League. No team is an injustice and loses as many points due to so-called “technology 4.0” in football as Liverpool.

Mention VAR to see the fact that Liverpool is still very good, not weak like some judges. The defending champions even put on this incredible performance in the context of lame force with exactly one main stone formation that had to be hospitalized due to injury.

Anfield especially is a “can’t attack” fortress in the fierce arena of the Premier League. Here Liverpool are 64 straight games without losing – the second longest undefeated series at home in English football history. In these 64 games, Liverpool won 53, scored 169 goals (2.6 goals / game) and conceded only 42 times (0.7 goals / game).

There is no denying that the Wolves are a real and ambitious team in England. The Premier League this season also saw Wolves’ best start in the league after 40 years. In 2020, Wolves are also the second-most visiting team in the UK after MU.

However, wolves are not without their problems. Since June, he has never won 2 away games. On the other hand, the last time Wolves beat Liverpool in the Premier League was … 10 years ago. Since then, they have faced Liverpool 11 more times and lost 7.

Compared to a 1-0 win over Ajax a few days ago in the Champions League, Liverpool only had one change in the starting list when young goalkeeper Kelleher replaced Alisson, who was unwell due to injury. . Brighton on November 28. As mentioned, the traumatic storm makes the “Red Brigade” unable to turn the force even if it wants to, not to mention that Wolves is very formidable.

The pace of the game was quite high after the opening whistle. The two teams attacked “tit for tat” from side to side quite enthusiastically, but the concentration of the defense on both sides made the goal from both sides safe, almost without danger in the first half of the first half. .

However, it was only until minute 24 that the goal appeared. From the circle in midfield, Hender threw a direct pass into the penalty area and Coady made a bad header, opening up the opportunity for Salah to slide and hit Patricio with his left foot.

The visitors got up very quickly after the goal and continued to play fair with the defending champions, but in terms of the number of clear opportunities, Liverpool remained superior. In the 35th minute, Salah made a free kick from a distance of about 30 meters and the ball hit the goal, but it was not enough to defeat Rui Patricio.

Before the end of the first half, the rare moment of the season, VAR “helped” Liverpool. At first, referee Pawson was rather shy about aiming for the penalty spot after the dispute between Mane and Coady in Liverpool’s penalty area.

Of course, in situations like this, the VAR team has to start analyzing and after directly checking the ball through the screen outside the pitch, the king of the pitch has changed his mind because Sadio Mane is extremely alert when he retired at the right time, so he never touched Coady.

At the start of the second half, Henderson returned to send an accurate pass from midfield and Mane controlled a perfect pace to knock out two opposing players before swinging his leg to shoot but goalkeeper Patricio still managed to maintain the situation. .

The Wolves still actively implemented the plan to make the tie, but when things were still not in place, they had to concede a goal in the second minute. 58 minutes, in a quick counterattack, Captain Henderson kept passing. the exact middle distance and Wijnaldum brought the ball close to the 16m50 area and decided to make a graceful arrangement, pocketing the ball into the high corner at Patricio’s impotence.

At 67 minutes, the score rose to 3-0, which means that the match was officially organized. From a corner, Mohamed Salah made a precise sanction from the right wing and midfielder Matip headed for the visiting net.

Without stopping there, Liverpool in the 78th minute scored 4. Current Premier Lague defender Alexander-Arnold (recently recovered from injury) called for the ball and was received by his teammates. He then made a family crossover in the Wolves’ 16m50 area. Both Salah and Mane were present to respond, but it was Nelson Semedo who touched the last ball and the goal was counted for the Wolves defender.

In the 80th minute, Wolves had an honorable goal if young goalkeeper Kelleher did not respond quickly with his foot to deny Ait Nouri’s left-foot shot in the penalty area. Immediately after that, Liverpool’s defense was largely due to subjective attitude as the home team was leading too deep, giving Adama Traore a chance to score, but the shot that sank missed the mark. .

That was also the last effort by the Wolves and coach Nuno Santo’s teachers and students suffered a heavy 0-4 defeat at Anfield, just one week after a glorious victory at Arsenal’s Emirates. The resounding victory helped “Red Brigade” defend second place in the standings, and remained behind only Tottenham in the sub-index.
