Liverpool did something during 2-1 win over Wolves which has never happened before
Liverpool managed to avoid giving Arsenal any encouragement with a 2-1 win over Wolves on Sunday.
Goals from Luis Diaz and Mohamed Salah put the Reds back to being seven points clear of Arsenal in the Premier League title race – as Liverpool responded well to their late setback in the Merseyside derby on Wednesday.
It may have seemed like a routine, relatively uneventful afternoon for Arne Slot and Liverpool – although a club record was actually broken after Salah put the Reds two ahead from the penalty spot.
How Liverpool made history when going 2-0 up against Wolves
When the Egypt international dispatched his penalty beyond Jose Sa in the 37th minute, it sealed a club record Slot will surely be proud of.
Liverpool have now scored at least two goals in 17 consecutive games at Anfield for the first time ever – emphasising just how ruthless the Dutchman has made the Reds in attack since replacing Jurgen Klopp.

Slot – who may now receive a touchline ban – could have even seen his side score more against Wolves, as Salah saw a second goal disallowed for a narrow offside, while Diogo Jota thought he had won Liverpool another penalty, only for VAR to recommend Simon Hooper overturn his decision after noticing the Portugal international dived.
How many more goals Liverpool and Arne Slot need to break Premier League scoring record
As things stand, Liverpool’s record for most goals in a Premier League season stands at the 101 scored under Brendan Rodgers in the 2013/14 campaign.

Liverpool currently sit on 60 goals from 25 Premier League outings this term, which equates to 2.4 goals per game.
Therefore, with 13 league matches left this season, Liverpool stand to finish the 2024/25 campaign on 91 goals – meaning the Reds will have to step things up in attack if they are to beat their club record.
Ultimately, Slot, who praised Wolves No.10 Matheus Cunha, will just want his side to secure the Premier League title as soon as possible, even if that comes via a handful of 1-0 wins.
