Although Bruno Fernandes was sent off in the 47th minute, the Wolves managed to break through Onana’s net twice, with a goal in the early minutes and another late in the game.
Manchester United’s woes continue as they suffered a 0-2 defeat to Wolves, having now lost 4 of their last 5 Premier League games.
Liverpool bounced back through Cody Gakpo’s equalizer after conceding in the 6th minute through Jordan Ayew’s effort. Curtis Jones scored four minutes into the second half, with Mac Allister delivering a brace of assists. The game seemed over until Mohamed Salah scored in the 82nd minute.
