Comments:

League position: 2nd Liverpool remained as the only team to score in all of their games so far in this Premier League season. Mohamed Salah had now scored in the Premier League at Anfield for the Reds against 22 of 26 opposition teams that he had faced. They were now unbeaten in their last seven games in the Premier League (won four).

Comments:

League position: 10th Wolverhampton Wanderers had now conceded four or more goals in two of their 11 games so far in this Premier League season after doing so in only one game in the two previous seasons in the division. Wolves had now lost two of their last eight games in the Premier League (won four). They had now failed to score in three of their 11 games so far in this Premier League season. Wolverhampton Wanderers were awarded a penalty after 44 minutes but the decision was reversed after a VAR review as a foul had not been committed.
