Match Report: Liverpool vs. Wolves – Player Ratings

**Alisson (6/10):**
The goalkeeper fell short of achieving his 100th Premier League clean sheet, unable to prevent Bueno from scoring, which provided Wolves with a second-half lifeline.

**Jeremie Frimpong (8/10):**
Making his first start since the victory over Eintracht Frankfurt in October, Frimpong delivered a superb assist for Gravenberch’s opener with a well-placed cutback.

**Ibrahima Konate (4/10):**
After recovering from a midweek training absence, the centre-back struggled against Wolves’ Arokodare, contributing to another goal conceded from a corner.

**Virgil van Dijk (7/10):**
The Netherlands international displayed remarkable composure on the ball, successfully completing 92% of his attempted passes (93 out of 101).

**Milos Kerkez (6/10):**
Similar to Frimpong, the left-back pushed forward energetically, helping to keep Wolves on the back foot and energizing the Anfield crowd.

**Ryan Gravenberch (8/10):**
Positioned strategically at the edge of the box, Gravenberch made a decisive run to meet Frimpong’s cutback, taking his first-half goal with finesse.

**Curtis Jones (7/10):**
As industrious as ever, the Liverpool youth product made 15 recoveries in midfield, enabling his team to sustain continuous attacking pressure.

**Alexis Mac Allister (6/10):**
Operating closely with Ekitike, the Argentine had four touches within Wolves’ penalty area but was unable to capitalize on those opportunities.

**Federico Chiesa (5/10):**
Stepping in for the suspended Dominik Szoboszlai, Chiesa struggled to make an impact and was the first Liverpool player substituted after an hour.

**Hugo Ekitike (8/10):**
Continuing his impressive form, Ekitike executed a brilliant solo run to assist Wirtz for his first goal in a Liverpool shirt.

**Florian Wirtz (9/10):**
Building on his previous league assist, Wirtz exhibited exceptional composure as he calmly slotted the ball past Wolves’ goalkeeper Sa for Liverpool’s second goal. He also created the most chances (3) and won the most duels in the match (11), delivering a standout performance.

**Conor Bradley (7/10):**
Recovering from an injury that led to his substitution against Spurs, Bradley was impactful after coming on, making a crucial last-ditch challenge to deny Wolves’ Mane.

**Cody Gakpo (N/A):**
Returning from injury, Gakpo did not have sufficient time on the pitch to influence the match.

**Trey Nyoni (N/A):**
Similar to Gakpo, Nyoni was substituted in too late to make a significant impact.

**Arne Slot (6/10):**
With two changes from the team that defeated Tottenham, Slot observed Frimpong’s exceptional performance. However, given Wolves’ persistent threat in the second half, he could have considered making substitutions earlier.
