Goalkeeper & Defence

Alisson (6/10):

The goalkeeper was unable to register his 100th Premier League clean sheet, helplessly watching on as Bueno gave Wolves a second-half lifeline.

Jeremie Frimpong (8/10):

Making his first start since the win over Eintracht Frankfurt in October, the defender recorded the assist for Gravenberch's opener with a lovely cutback.

Ibrahima Konate (4/10):

Passed fit to play after missing training in midweek, the centre-back wasn't strong enough against Wolves' Arokodare as Liverpool conceded from yet another corner.

Virgil van Dijk (7/10):

The Netherlands international was - as the chant goes - calm as you like on the ball, completing 92 per cent (93/101) of his attempted passes.

Milos Kerkez (6/10):

Like Frimpong on the other flank, the left-back drove forward as much as he could, pushing Wolves back and injecting plenty of energy into the Anfield crowd.

Midfield

Ryan Gravenberch (8/10):

Lurking on the edge of the box before bursting forward at the perfect moment to collect Frimpong's cutback, the midfielder took his first-half goal superbly.

Curtis Jones (7/10):

Industrious as ever in the middle of the park, the boyhood Red made 15 recoveries for his side, ensuring they were able to sustain attack after attack.

Alexis Mac Allister (6/10):

Operating in and around Ekitike, the Argentina international had four touches inside Wolves' box but he was unable to make the most of those entries.

Attack

Federico Chiesa (5/10):

Replacing the suspended Dominik Szoboszlai in the starting XI, the winger was rather quiet and as a result, he was the first Liverpool player to be substituted after an hour.

Hugo Ekitike (8/10):

Looking to continue his excellent form, the on-song forward made a fabulous solo run before setting up Wirtz for his breakthrough goal in Liverpool colours.

Florian Wirtz (9/10):

Aiming to build on his first league assist against Tottenham Hotspur last time out, the Germany star showed terrific composure as he coolly slotted past Wolves' Sa for Liverpool's second goal. He also created the most chances (3) and won the most duels in the match (11), in what was a fantastic performance on home soil.

Subs & Manager

Conor Bradley (7/10):

Shaking off the injury which led to him being substituted against Spurs, the right-back was introduced after an hour and made a brilliant last-ditch challenge to deny Wolves' Mane.

Cody Gakpo (N/A):

Making his return from injury, the winger was not on the pitch long enough to impact proceedings.

Trey Nyoni (N/A):

Like Cody Gakpo, the youngster was brought on too late to make an impact for Liverpool.

Arne Slot (6/10):

Making two changes from the side that beat Tottenham, the Dutchman watched on as his compatriot Jeremie Frimpong - in particular - sparkled for Liverpool going forward. However, with Wolves posing a consistent threat in the second half, the manager perhaps could have made his changes a touch sooner.
