Van Dijk and Salah earn Liverpool win over Wolves

Goals from Virgil van Dijk and Mohamed Salah earned Liverpool a hard-fought Premier League win against Wolverhampton Wanderers that boosts their hopes of finishing in the top four of the Premier League.

Jurgen Klopp's side looked to be facing a frustrating evening at Anfield when Darwin Nunez's strike was ruled out by VAR.

However Reds captain Van Dijk made the breakthrough with a close-range header from Diogo Jota's cross and four minutes later Salah turned in a Konstantinos Tsimikas cut-back.

The victory moves Liverpool up to sixth in the table, six points behind fourth-place Tottenham Hotspur with a game in hand.

Wolves remain 15th, three points above the relegation zone, having offered minimal threat going forward.
