We had discussion on the pitch, there was stuff to improve but set-pieces can bring us back in the game, a good bit of skill can bring us back in the game. By Joshua Peck PUBLISHED: 17:45, Sun, Dec 29, 2019 "You just have to find a way to win and have someone who makes the perfect decision and that was Bobby again. Wolves were really strong but it's clear we could settle again. Man. Liverpool were arguably put under more pressure here at a vibrant Molineux than at any time in the Premier League this season - but the champions-elect did what champions do and found a way to get the job done.After Wolves equalised, and with the dangerous Traore moving through the gears, there was the possibility that Liverpool could lose their first league game in more than a year.This, however, is a team that has forgotten how to draw never mind lose and even though it came against the run of play, it was no great surprise when Firmino made the decisive late contribution.And at the heart of it all was captain Henderson, unsung for so long but now in the best form of his career.Henderson delivered a collector's item with that header from a corner but it was his more customary attributes that helped his team through periods of suffering in the second half, although he also delivered the crucial pass for Firmino's winner. "Liverpool play three times before Wolves' next game. Liverpool's march to the Premier League title continued as Roberto Firmino's late winner at Wolverhampton Wanderers gave them the victory that extends their lead at the top to 16 points with a game in hand.Wolves can consider themselves unfortunate to be the victims of Liverpool's 22nd win in 23 league games after making life as uncomfortable as anyone has for Jurgen Klopp's side this season before Firmino ensured Liverpool took another significant step towards their first title in 30 years.Reds captain Jordan Henderson headed them in front from Trent Alexander-Arnold's corner after eight minutes but Wolves drew level six minutes after the break when Raul Jimenez glanced in Adama Traore's cross.It was the first goal Liverpool - who lost Sadio Mane to a muscle injury in the first half - had conceded in the league for more than 12 hours and it required important saves from goalkeeper Alisson to keep out Traore and Jimenez as Wolves pressed.Liverpool, as ever, carried a huge threat and Firmino drilled home the winner with six minutes left - although substitute Diogo Jota then wasted a glorious chance to give Wolves a point in stoppage time.The Reds, who have won their past 14 league games, are the third team to go 40 games unbeaten in the Premier League.

Morgan Gibbs-White replaces João Moutinho.Substitution, Liverpool. He was constantly available and always urging his team-mates to greater efforts.He has grown in stature, along with Liverpool, in these last two seasons and is now the heartbeat of this outstanding team.His influence is increasingly recognised and he was the driving force as Liverpool ground out a win in such a difficult environment. There’s too much frustration.”The Wolves VAR decision is one of many tight calls this weekend.Norwich ace Teemu Pukki was ruled offside against Tottenham while Wilfried Zaha suffered a similar fate for Crystal Palace against Southampton.The Pukki call led Norwich boss Daniel Farke to criticise the system.He said: “When you watch it back without a line, you ask, one person would say it’s not offside, another would.“I can’t influence it, I have to accept it. Leander Dendoncker tries a through ball, but Jonny is caught offside. Wolves ace Neto had a goal ruled out against Liverpool after Joao Moutinho was adjudged to be offside in the build-up by VAR.
