"Liverpool moved, at least temporarily, into the top four of the Premier League with an unconvincing 2-1 victory over winless Wolves on an emotional day at Anfield. The first meeting between the two sides since former Liverpool and Wolves forward Diogo Jota was tragically killed in a car accident in July saw Jota's children accompany Reds captain Virgil van Dijk onto the pitch, while the entirety of the stadium rose to pay tribute to the Portuguese in the 20th minute."
"Florian Wirtz scored his first Premier League goal for Liverpool. Liverpool appeared set to win at a canter after Ryan Gravenberch and Florian Wirtz, the latter scoring his first Premier League goal, gave them command with two goals in as many minutes. However, Santiago Bueno pulled one back six minutes into the second half and Wolves were stunningly the more threatening team thereafter."
