Wolves 1-2 Liverpool: Roberto Firmino maintains Reds' unstoppable surge towards the Premier League title with late stunner after Raul Jimenez cancelled out Jordan Henderson's opener

Daily Mail | January 24, 2020

For a long time, this looked like Wolves’ game to win.

Having drawn level with Liverpool through a superb Raul Jiminez goal early in the second half, Wolves had their foot on the throat of the Premier League leaders. Or so it seemed.

Twice in the period that followed Jiminez’s equaliser, Nuno Espirito Santo’s excellent team threatened to break through again. Both times Wolves seemed to be on the cusp of ending Liverpool’s long unbeaten run in the Premier League. They would have deserved it for their spirt and their ambition alone.
