Liverpool won against the great Man Utd battle

In the 7th round match with Wolves on the evening of March 1, striker Darwin Nunez returned after missing a match due to a shoulder injury. He still did not play as well as expected, causing many limitations to Liverpool's attack. In the 66th minute, Nunez created a significant chance and put the ball in the net of Wolves, but the referee refused to recognize it because Diogo Jota fouled Kilman.

Liverpool continued to press the field after Nunez's missed goal. Their patience paid off in the 73rd minute. After a push by goalkeeper Jose Sa, Jota crossed Van Dijk's header to open the scoring.

Liverpool only needed to play four more minutes to get a second goal. After the ball of goalkeeper Alisson, left-back Tsimikas broke through and crossed as if placed in the penalty area. Mohamed Salah finished close-range with his thigh to seal a 2-0 victory.

This result helps Liverpool revive hopes of returning to the Top 4 of the Premier League. The 2019-2020 season champions are sixth with 39 points from 24 games, six points behind fourth-placed Tottenham but playing one game less. Liverpool still have many opportunities to rise up in the remaining 14 rounds.

This is also a good momentum for Liverpool for the match against Man Utd on March 5. Man Utd is in high form when losing only one of the last 22 matches in all competitions. In the first leg, Liverpool lost 1-2 on the field of "Red Devils".

Statistically, Liverpool have not really improved. Klopp's side have only scored 27 goals in 12 home Premier League games this season, including nine from a 9-0 win over Bournemouth. This is far short of 49 goals in 19 games last season.
