Liverpool defeated Wolverhampton 3-1 in the fifth round of the 2023-2024 English Premier League (EPL) at Molineux Stadium in Wolverhampton, England, on Saturday.
Hwang Hee-chan opened the scoring in the seventh minute. Wolverhampton striker Netou made a bold run down the left flank, breaking through three defenders and delivering a grounded cross.
