Once again, Liverpool had to work hard to win, but three goals in the second half were more than enough to defeat Wolves and break the 12.30 p.m. curse.
After the break for foreign travel, we had an early start to get us going again, and after just seven minutes, a comeback was required. They appear to have never departed.

Cody Gakpo scored early in the second half to help Liverpool gain momentum, and with additional substitutions, the Reds put the outcome beyond doubt.
Harvey Elliott added the final touch after a brilliant finish from Andy Robertson, and Mohamed Salah ended up with two assists overall.
Club football has truly returned after a lethargic period of success.
Three goals were scored in the second half following necessary system and personnel adjustments; the Liverpool team loves to keep us guessing.
