Substitute Divock Origi scored the winning goal in stoppage time and led Liverpool to the top of the English Premier League after beating Wolverhampton Wanderers 1-0 on Saturday.

Origi received a cross pass from Mohamed Salah before turning and putting the ball in the goal to save the face of his team's deadly attack, usually after wasting many opportunities.

Liverpool jump to the top

With this result, Liverpool jumped to the top with 34 points from 15 games, one point ahead of Chelsea, who lost 3-2 to West Ham United earlier today, Saturday.

But Manchester City may surpass the two teams to the top if they win away from Watford in the last matches of the day.

And it seemed that Liverpool striker Diogo Jota, on his return to the stadium of his former club on his 25th birthday, would inevitably score after an hour of meeting time after a defensive error that left him alone in front of the goal, before Wolverhampton captain Conor Cody saved the ball on the goal line in a superb way.

Trent Alexander-Arnold of Liverpool hit the crossbar, Jota's header went slightly off the goal, Salah failed to put the ball into the wide open goal, and the defense and goalkeeper saved a double shot from Thiago Alcantara from close range, and Sadio Mane missed another opportunity for Liverpool.

Wolverhampton threatened Liverpool's goal repeatedly on the counter-attack and was able to advance in the result.

But Raul Jimenez hit the crossbar and Liverpool goalkeeper Alisson Becker reached the ball before Adama Traore after several smooth passes from the hosts.

Wolverhampton occupies eighth place with 21 points.
