Winning today's match was not easy for Liverpool players. Home team Wolves performed well in this match. This is why Liverpool's players failed to dominate the match. Liverpool took the lead in the last minute of the first half with KOnate's goal. However, Wolves equalized at the beginning of the second half. The second half was quite competitive and exciting. Wolves' players were able to make several strong attacks. But after going 2-1 up, Liverpool's players kept their defense tight. And because of this Wolves players can't score any more goals in this match. By winning this match, Liverpool have managed to occupy the top spot in the table. Liverpool is 1 point ahead of Manchester City.
Liverpool finally succeeded in taking advantage of the opportunity to seize the main position from Manchester City. Newcastle forced Manchester City to a 1-1 draw at St. James' Park, but this is not the end of it. Manchester City can still reclaim the main position in the standings as long as they don't lose in the next matches, of course by winning the match they can put pressure on Liverpool.
A low points gap like now is difficult for the top of the standings to maintain, of course because of pressure and so on. However, if Liverpool is consistent with their performance, then they can lead the standings for the next few weeks.
Is it about leading the table for the next few weeks that is so important? There is no prize for any club that stays on the table for weeks unless bragging to their fans and that is all. What is more important is to be on top of the table when the league concludes. And for four consecutive years, Manchester City has been the chosen club. Today's game between Manchester City and Newcastle is just something that Pep needs to sit back and correct that mistake. Manchester City couldn't have a good game in the midfield because of the absence of De Brune and Rodri. I doubt that with these two players being out of the season or sustaining this injury for a very long time, Manchester City will find it difficult to take 3 points from their next game.
