Liverpool passed another stringent test of their Premier League title credentials as Mohamed Salah and Virgil van Dijk gave them a 2-0 victory at Wolverhampton on Friday that guarantees top spot at Christmas. Then, when Wolves managed to blunt Liverpool’s attacking threat, their defense clicked into gear to silence a dangerous frontline with Van Dijk in outstanding form at the heart of Klopp’s back four. Early chances were scarce for the visitors and when one arrived, with James Milner’s corner dropping kindly for Van Dijk, the Dutchman’s shot was charged down by Matt Doherty. Liverpool had been on the back foot but there was no denying the quality of their opening goal, scored by Salah on 18 minutes. A corner was cleared as far as Salah, who delivered a teasing cross from which Van Dijk stretched to turn the ball home.
