Premier League result, latest updates and reaction after Wirtz scores first goal - Reds beat Wolves in an emotional afternoon on Merseyside

Liverpool moved into the top four with a nervy 2-1 victory over rock-bottom Wolverhampton Wanderers, who have set the record for the longest winless start to a Premier League season following their latest defeat.

But Wolves pulled a goal back a few minutes into the second half, which made the remainder of the game more nervy than it should have been. Substitute Conor Bradley made a superb block in the closing stages to prevent a Jhon Arias equaliser as Slot’s team continue to look susceptible at the back. Gregg Evans and James Pearce dissect the game.

An Ethiopian wolf, Africa’s most endangered carnivore, was found shot in the leg. What happened next was astonishing.

A new line of research has revealed a surprising finding about how the presence of wolves helps keep people safe.

From Nordic lullabies to Grimm’s fairytales, the wolf has always haunted the edges of human history. Even today, wolves would represent a serious danger to nomads and herders, who ironically often employ dogs for protection.

Liverpool have a fairly kind run of fixtures before they journey to Arsenal on Jan. 8, with a visit from Leeds United on New Year’s Day following the clash with Wolves. The Reds then travel to Fulham three days later, before their battle with the Gunners.

In recent weeks, Florian Wirtz has shown more and more signs of his quality. At Tottenham last Saturday, he got his first Premier League assist in a 2-1 win and he was a class apart against Wolves. Wirtz signed in a deal worth £116m in June - and such a price tag comes with lofty expectations.
