Wolves' Traore and Jimenez set record in Liverpool defeat

Liverpool triumphed 2-1 over Wolverhampton Wanderers on Thursday to go 16 points clear at the top of the Premier League table with a game in hand, but the night was more about Raul Jimenez and Adams Traore.

After Jordan Henderson gave the Reds a 1-0 first-half lead, Wolves came back to life after the break with the equaliser from Jimenez.

The Mexican made a run from midfield and skipped past an Andy Robertson challenge before finding Traore, who sent in a cross that Jimenez headed home.

Though Roberto Firmino got the winner six minutes from time, Jimenez and Traore gave Liverpool a serious run for their money.
