Mo Salah made it two from the penalty eight minutes before half-time.

And it looked as though Diogo Jota had secured the golden chance to wrap up the points when he went down under a sliding tackle in the Wolves area.

Referee Simon Hooper pointed to the spot but reversed his decision after the VAR monitor replays showed Jota had simply thrown himself to the floor.

Then the nerves inside Anfield increased when Matheus Cunha fired a fine strike into the bottom corner to pull the relegation-threatened side back into the game.

But despite a wave of attacks, the Reds held on and stumbled over the line for a crucial return to winning ways.
