For Liverpool, Mohamed Salah was the star of the show as they once again overcame a deficit to triumph, with the Egyptian assisting three goals.
After five games, the Reds lead the Premier League after starting the game behind Wolves but outplaying them in the second half.
With 13 points out of a possible 15, Liverpool has moved into first place in the rankings this season, though outcomes are subject to change.
Since Harvey Elliott’s goal-bound shot resulted in an own goal and Salah didn’t get the last touch, the 31-year-old was only officially granted two assists.
Salah was a delight to watch after Jurgen Klopp made his adjustments after halftime, despite how annoying it was to watch.
Here are all the numbers that define his great creative performance, which was given an 8.3/10 rating:
According to statistics, Mohamed Salah’s MOTM display vs Wolves
While he had nothing to work with in terms of offensive runs in the first half versus Wolves, Salah was in a very creative mindset at the time. However, after Luis Diaz and Darwin Nunez entered the field, mobility became much easier for Salah.
Every stat is available on WhoScored.
The Egyptian’s pass accuracy is only 74% because, like other forwards in the Premier League, it is his responsibility to take as many risks as possible. The number of important passes he made serves as evidence of this.
Two assists and five crucial passes: This is a fantastic creative metric that shows what Salah can do with the right assistance. As a winger, he typically receives the ball far from the goal, and in the first half, it seemed that only Dominik Szoboszlai was close enough to link play with.
However, he now shares the most assists (4) in the Premier League with his two (should be three) assists this season.
Salah was undoubtedly in a creative mood against Wolves, but he didn’t generate a lot of danger for his own goal. Considering how the game began, he should be applauded for his ability to create for others even if he only had one shot on target whole night from one attempt.
This season, Salah has two goals and four assists in five Premier League games. If the Reds are to continue challenging for the crown, his physical condition and offensive potential will be essential.
