Jurgen Klopp previews Liverpool's clash with Wolves
Liverpool forward Diogo Jota was guilty of an unbelievable miss against Wolves on Saturday afternoon as he thrashed the ball straight into Conor Coady with the goal at his mercy. The Reds struggled to find a way through the Wolves defence at the Molineux Stadium and were being held to a goalless draw when Jota fluffed his lines on the hour-mark. Jurgen Klopp's men eventually found a winner courtesy of Divock Origi's strike deep into stoppage time at the end of the match.

Liverpool went into their Black Country encounter looking to leapfrog Chelsea at the top of the Premier League table after the Blues had suffered a shock defeat at the hands of West Ham hours earlier.
But they were frustrated by Wolves for almost all of the match as Bruno Lage’s side showed tenacity and commitment to keep the Reds at bay.
The match looked destined to end in a stalemate as Wolves battened down the hatches and repelled everything that came their way.
But the top teams have a tendency to produce magical moments when it matters and eventually found a winner at the death as substitute Origi turned in the box and fired past the helpless Jose Sa.
Origi's late strike would have come as a welcomed relief to Jota, who had Liverpool’s best chance to open the scoring after home keeper Sa had raced out of his goal but had failed to win the ball.
