Wolves vs Liverpool LIVE: Premier League result and final score after Andy Robertson’s late goal
Liverpool beat Wolverhampton Wanderers 3-1 away on Saturday thanks to two late goals in a scintillating comeback that sent the Reds - at least temporarily - to the top of the Premier League table.
The hosts dominated the first half at Molineux against an unusually sloppy Liverpool, with Hwang Hee-chan stroking in a 7th minute goal after a brilliant run from Pedro Neto, before Wolves missed a string of further chances.
Liverpool came out transformed in the second half, however, and Mohamed Salah set up fellow striker Cody Gakpo for a tap-in equaliser in the 55th minute.
Wearing the captain’s armband on his 200th Premier League appearance, Andy Robertson slid in Liverpool’s second from another Salah pass in the 85th minute as the visitors poured forward.
Liverpool made it three in time added on, with Wolves’ Hugo Bueno touching the ball into his own net from a shot by Harvey Elliott, sending the away fans into delirium.
The result put Liverpool top of the table for now on 13 points after five games. Wolves are 15th on three points.

Wolves 1-3 Liverpool: match report
14:59 , Sonia Twigg
Liverpool’s late show fired Jurgen Klopp’s men to a 3-1 comeback win at Wolves.
Andrew Robertson and Hugo Bueno’s own goal saw the Reds escape Molineux with a victory which looked unlikely at half-time.
Hwang Hee-Chan’s early opener gave Wolves the lead as the hosts dominated and only a woeful miss by Matheus Cunha stopped them going further ahead.
Liverpool were wretched in the first half but slowly improved, levelling through Cody Gakpo before breaking Wolves’ resistance with four minutes left for a third comeback win of the season.

Klopp: “We have a really good squad and a super bench today. There is no quality no doubt about it, but even with quality you can play really bad and that’s what we did in the first half.”
Klopp on Robertson: “He didn’t score that many goals because his goalscoring record would not be great. An amazing player for us, super consistent over the years.
“I think Curtis made his 100th game today which is pretty special.”

Jurgen Klopp to TNT Sport: “It was that bad that I didn’t think we could play the second half like that.
“Low energy level, sometimes as well you could just see they struggled and we changed the system and one player and had a bit more speed up front.
“We changed pretty much everything at half time. The first half was really bad but the second half was really good.
“Massive three points. Wolves did exceptionally well, they caused us so many problems, especially one on one situations with Neto that we shouldn’t have let happen.”

Andy Robertson to TNT Sport: “We obbviouly weren’t at the races first half. I think it took us 45 minutes to get into it, Wolves were the better team and we made too many mistakes.
“I think we dominated the second half and probably got the right result based on the second half performance.
On his goal: “I don’t get many goals so it’s always nice to score. I just thought I might as well go in there, Mo (Salah) can always pick a pass.”

Full time: After 100 minutes, Michael Oliver has blown for full time as the game just meandered to the finish.
Well that was far from straightforward, and it looked at half time like Wolves might have gone on to win the game.
But Liverpool, as they have done so often, have just come into the game at the right time, made the right subsitutions and gone up a gear or two.
It was capped off by Robertson’s goal to put Liverpool ahead, but Salah should also recieve the plaudits for his three assists.

21 mins: Not for the first time this season it is evident just how much Liverpool need a defensive midfielder, to hold the ball well in the opposition half, and to break down attacks.
Alexis Mac Allister has been largely absent so far.
Wolves 1-0 Liverpool
12:51 , Sonia Twigg
19 mins: Neto has managed to get a shot underway, it’s wide, but they definitely look more promising.

12:49 , Sonia Twigg

6 mins: Wolves invited Liverpool to commit to the attack, and they struck immediately on the breakthrough.
Undone by one pass to Neto, who did well to attack, invite the challenges, get to the byline and then pass back to Hwang, who was the only player in the box.
Alison could not make the save before the ball crossed the line, and it is the home side who have the lead here.

On his team changes: “The South Americans came back really late. We need them as substitutes. That’s the two offensive changes.
“Ibrahima Konate only came back two days ago, we could have forced it, but Jarell Quansah came on twice and did really well. We tust him so I hope he can enjoy it.”

It has been a slight case of contrasting fortunes for the two teams - although it is worth mentioning that we are only four games into the season.
Wolves have just one win and three defeats so far, but will be relatively confident as five teams have had worse starts to the season.
While Liverpool sit level on points with Tottenham and just two behind Manchester City at the top of the Premier League table.
Jurgen Klopp’s side have won three and drawn one game so far this campaign, although there have been problems concerning the midfield.

The first of the Premier League fixtures after the international break sees Liverpool take on Wolves.
The reds have a chance to go top of the league - at least until the other sides play, and have 10 points from their first four matches.
But here is a look back to one of the sagas that dominated the transfer window and headlines before the international break:
Jurgen Klopp has insisted that Mohamed Salah is staying at Liverpool as Dominik Szoboszlai revealed the Egyptian had told his teammates he wants to remain at Anfield rather than accept a lucrative move to Saudi Arabia.
Liverpool rejected a £150m bid from Al-Ittihad for Salah this week, but while there has been the prospect the 31-year-old could become the world’s best-paid player, Klopp said he never questioned his commitment to the Merseyside club.
The Saudi transfer window remains open but Klopp is adamant that Liverpool’s position remains the same and that Salah is not for sale
