Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp was happy to pick up a “dirty three points” from Monday’s testing 1-0 win over Wolverhampton Wanderers.
The ‘Reds’ struggled to breakdown their hosts, but took the lead on the stroke of half-time through former Wolves striker Diogo Jota – the Portuguese with his first goal since returning to the team after three months out with a knee injury.
The match at Molineux was marred by a late injury to Wolves goalkeeper Rui Patricio, who received lengthy medical treatment on the pitch after a collision with team-mate Conor Coady before eventually being stretchered off.
