While Manchester City and Arsenal engage in a fiery feud, Liverpool quietly climbed to the top of the Premier League table with a focused performance. Unlike their usual celebrations, Reds fans showed subdued joy, reflecting a team prioritizing staying under the radar.
While the back pages of Saturday’s papers screeched of a "war" that is now apparently brewing between Manchester City and Arsenal , Liverpool simply got on with the business of going top of the Premier League .
And while Arne Slot will no doubt claim it to be none of his or Liverpool's business, there must be some part of him that privately hopes the fans are flamed for both his Premier League title competitors for the months ahead as a result. A lot of Liverpool's success so far this term has been based on what is the best defensive record in the division, with just two goals conceded in the opening six games.
It owed so much to the ingenuity of Diogo Jota who quickly deduced that he had the beating of Wolves target man Jorgen Strand Larsen when the pair contested the ball down the left side in first-half stoppage time. Portugal international Jota simply knocked it into the space Larsen was unable to cover and flung in a left-footed cross that was met by Konate for the opening goal.
