Liverpool 2-0 Wolves: Virgil van Dijk and Mohamed Salah boost Reds' top-four hopes

Goals from Virgil van Dijk and Mohamed Salah earned Liverpool a hard-fought Premier League win against Wolverhampton Wanderers that boosts their hopes of finishing in the top four.

Jurgen Klopp's side looked to be facing a frustrating evening when Darwin Nunez's strike was ruled out by VAR.

However Reds captain Van Dijk made the breakthrough with a close-range header from Diogo Jota's cross before Salah turned in a Konstantinos Tsimikas cut-back.

It moves Liverpool up to sixth in the Premier League, six points behind fourth-place Tottenham with a game in hand.

Wolves remain 15th, three points above the relegation zone, having offered minimal threat going forward.
