Liverpool FC stopped the downward trend and celebrated a 1-0 (1-0) away win at Wolverhampton Wanderers in the English Premier League.
Thanks to his sixth goal of the season just before the break (45th + 2), the Portuguese Diogo Jota provided the decisive goal for coach Jürgen Klopp's team.
The Portuguese completed an input from Sadio Mané with a low shot from 13 meters into the left corner.
Another goal of the guests was withdrawn four minutes before the end because of an offside position by Mohamed Salah.
During the defensive action, Wolves goalkeeper Rui Patricio collided violently with a teammate, injured his head, had to be treated on the field for more than twelve minutes and was carried away on a stretcher.
The head was stabilized with a ruff and an oxygen mask was used.

According to coach Nuno Espirito Santo, the goalkeeper did not suffer a major head injury.
"Rui Patricio is okay," Santo told the BBC on Monday night.
He was awake and conscious and could remember the collision.
"The assessment is positive, he'll be fine again."

In the table, Liverpool moved up to sixth with 46 points, but are still five points behind a Champions League place, which Thomas Tuchel's FC Chelsea is currently claiming fourth.
Most recently, the Reds had lost six of seven games in the Premier League and thus experienced the worst crisis in the time under coach Klopp.
In the Champions League, Klopp's team was twice successful with 2-0 against RB Leipzig and is in the quarter-finals.
