Events

Match Events

0' We are underway at Anfield. The crowd does wile while the referee lows the starting whistle.
5' Neither side is committing men forward. This has all the hallmarks of a tense, tactical contest.
10' Both keepers have barely been tested. Liverpool FC and Wolverhampton Wanderers FC are cancelling each other out in the centre of the park.
15' It looks surprising Wolverhampton Wanderers FC does not make any changes. Romain Saiss has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
20' Supporters expect more eagerness from Rui Patricio, as he is very good at scoring at Anfield with 0 goals in the last 0 games.
25' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. Wolverhampton Wanderers FC needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
30' Matchday of the Array and both teams know exactly what is at stake tonight.
35' The clock is ticking and both teams know a goal could change everything at this point.
40' England international Conor Coady has been a key figure this campaign — 0 goals and 0 assists in the Array this season.
42' Sadio Mane puts Liverpool FC on the lead.
45' That is a Yellow card for Liverpool FC. Adam Lallana will be fuming at that decision.
50' Although teams showed high tempo form the start, they seem to slow down a bit. Both sides really need to catch a fire. Otherwise, we have another goalless match.
55' Liverpool FC looks like a favorite considering 1 games won in last 1 matches with its main striker scoring 0 goals.
58' Wolverhampton Wanderers FC ring the changes. Ruben Neves has done his job and it is now time for Romain Saiss to step up.
63' Wolverhampton Wanderers FC is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
67' The supporters are chanting for Naby Keita. He replaces Adam Lallana on 67 minute.
72' Another change for Wolverhampton Wanderers FC made on 72 minute. Diogo Jota leaves to be changed by Raul Jimenez.
77' Andrew Robertson needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 29 Yellow cards this season.
82' Jonny Otto is putting in a real shift tonight. He has covered more ground than anyone else for Liverpool FC so far.
86' A tactical swap from Liverpool FC — James Milner on, Georginio Wijnaldum off on 86 minutes.
Hope, you loved the show. Another epic battle is over with the score 1-0.
